C448
Corgi 448 BMC Mini Police Van with Tracker Dog. Near mint plus (cast wheels issue)/boxed with packing. From a high quality collection in the U.S.
Notes
This popular Austin Police Mini Van was issued between 1964-69. The van is in glowing near mint condition with jewelled headlights and suspension on cast wheels. As-new supple tyres. Perfect ‘POLICE’ labels on both sides and an intact original aerial.
A chip above a headlight and a few very small marks (dots) besides.
It comes with both original figures, including the thin plastic lead!
The detailed inner card stand is crisp, clean and bright with just a couple of minor slot tears. Little ‘bend’ to the top of the header card. Card packing piece is still present too.
The outer box is bright, clean and complete. Minor handling wear. Light residue from a price label at an end flap and a couple of flecks of surface loss at this site. Small circular label residue on one box face. Period pencilled prices at an end flap. Card feels silky. Corgi Club Membership Form is folded inside the box.
