C253
Corgi 253 Mercedes Benz 220 SE Coupe. Metallic blue (bright shade), cream interior, spun wheels. Near mint/boxed. With suitcases & spare wheel. From The 'Monty Calme' Corgi Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1964-68, the car has an attractive vivid, bright metallic blue finish, cream interior, sliver trim and sleek lines.
Brighter blue shade than the metallic blue issue with a yellow interior.
Intact emblem on the bonnet. Bright shaped spun wheels with suspension. Both suitcases in the boot as well as a spare wheel (so often lost!). Well-shaped original tyres.
Faint roof rubs and a little mark on one side. Several dot-sized marks mostly on the passenger side. Note the additional dab of orange paint low down at the rear (almost underneath the model).
The box is clean, complete and strongly-coloured. Seam tear and minor wear besides.
