Notes
A superb example of this popular Corgi model made between 1964-69. In virtually pristine condition, this model has been looked after most carefully. It contains an Austin Police Mini Van in deep blue finish with a red detailed interior, shining shaped spun wheels with suspension, aerial, jewelled headlights and perfect ‘POLICE’ on both sides. As-new original tyres.
The keenest eyes will eventually find a tiny dot or two at the opening rear doors.
Also included are the original figures of the police dog handler and tracker dog complete with his lead (often missing!). All safely slotted in to the crisp and bright inner plinth with a colourful backdrop. Note that there are no tears to the wheel slots (which have their push-out pieces still in situ), and just one little ruffle to one of the figure slots.
On the reverse, there is background information on both the B.M.C. Mini Van and the training of the Alsation police dog, and the work they do.
The outer box is very crisp, fresh and brightly-coloured with a pleasing silky feel to the car. Gives the impression of unsold old shop stock. Period price label at an end flap.
A fine all-original example which is difficult to resist!
