Notes
A sought-after, scarce Belgian export issue made between 1965-66 only. Easily distinguishable with its ingenious “glowing” Trans-O-Lite lighting, this was the first Corgi ‘special’ export model. What a beauty – in very close to mint condition!
Spring suspension on shaped spun wheels, and the chef rotates when the knob on the roof is turned (roof knob tends to slip a little lower than it should). Perfect “Patates Frites” labels.
“Snack Bar” label has a little lower edge rub.
The box is bright and complete. A little handling/age wear and writing at end flaps. Corgi Club Membership Form.
