Corgi 430 Ford Thunderbird Bermuda Taxi. With red and yellow canopy. Very near mint/boxed. From 'The New European' Collection.
Notes
First issued during 1962, this model is in original condition, complete with an intact, red and yellow detachable canopy, driver. The Ford Thunderbird car is finished in white with a bright deep yellow and silver interior. ‘TAXI’ and ‘BERMUDA’ transfers perfect throughout.
Spring suspension on bright shaped spun hubs. Well-shaped original tyres.
Note the small paint miss behind the driver’s seat. A few little edge marks mostly on the yellow top edge driver’s side.
The box is complete, feeling crisp. Generally bright, although there is a little sunfading at end flaps. Period shop stamp on the interior surface of a large end flap. Corgi Club Membership Form.
Not an easy model to find, particularly with the red and yellow canopy.
