C447
Corgi 447 Wall's Ice Cream Van. Mint/boxed, with original figures on plinth. No transfer sheet but includes unusual Instruction Leaflet with MID-BLUE PRINT on reverse. From The Netherlands Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1965-67, this sought-after Corgi Ford Thames Ice Cream Van has a mint, original blue and cream finish with perfect ’WALL’S ICE CREAM’ transfers on both sides. Suspension on shaped spun wheels. Well-shaped original tyres.
It comes complete with the pictorial card plinth which is bright and fresh! Both figures of the ice cream seller and boy are present. No tears at wheel slots or where the figures are slotted. Both pull tabs are present and intact. Couple of faint creases.
The pictorial card box is clean and complete, with no tears. Period price label. No graffiti. Little rubbing/ruffling besides.
Note the Instruction Leaflet has the usual Corgi Club Membership details on the reverse – but mid-blue print is quite a difficult find!
