C1143
Corgi 1143 American La France Aerial Rescue Truck. Very near mint/boxed (early box) with Retailer Card. From 'The New European' Collection/
Notes
A detailed and impressive fire engine from Corgi’s Major Pack range. This articulated fire truck is complete with all six firemen and all sections of the telescopic ladder, jewelled headlights, aerial and perfect “American La France” transfers. Certainly, this model has never been played with. A few little marks that you have to search for. Complete with all delicate parts intact including the wing mirrors! Detailed cast wheels in red. Rotating turntable and detachable tractor unit.
Obviously, this item has barely been out of its box.
Occasional very small mark only.
The early light blue and yellow large cellophane-fronted window box has intact original cellophane. Card is bright, crisp and fresh-looking with hardly any age wear at all. Wonderfully vibrant detailed scene on the box reverse.
Moulded polystyrene inner sleeve is complete, although note the little stain caused by contact with the model over a long period. Great to see that that this example comes with the rare original *header card/retailer card *too!
Original* Instruction Leaflet* is included (a little scuff and some pencilled writing on the reverse).
