issued by Corgi in early 1969, this scarce and desirable set comprises:
1) Corgi 1148 Scammell Car Transporter with a gleaming scarlet and white finish with all four yellow fixing clips intact. In very near mint condition. Looks unused.
2) Corgi 345 MGC GT, a rare find in brilliant orange, black interior, jewelled lights and intact suspension on spoked wheels. Near mint plus condition with a few factory assembly marks around one headlight. Couple of minor marks besides. Fine original tyres.
3) Corgi 340 Sunbeam Imp ‘Monte Carlo’ in bright metallic blue. Very near mint condition. Notably intact suspension on shaped spun wheels. Intact transfers throughout. Barely a mark!
4) Corgi 201 The Saint’s Volvo. Very scarce issue in white with a red bonnet label and shaped spun wheels. Near mint plus (minor wear to the bonnet label, marks at over-riders).
5) Corgi 249 Morris Mini Cooper De-Luxe in black with a red roof and complete ‘wickerwork’ side panels (minor wear at one side). Suspension on detailed cast wheels. Very near mint.
6) Corgi 226 Morris Mini Minor in metallic maroon with suspension on detailed cast wheels. Very near mint.

The scarce transition box with ’NEW SPECIFICATION label is complete and vividly-coloured. It would appear the the original cellophane has been glued back into place (often the glue dries out over time). Couple of end flap tears and the usual rubbing/age wear too.
All contents are housed in a complete and bright polystyrene inner (tiny wear only).
This set comes with model specific Instruction Leaflet for the 340 Monte Carlo Sunbeam Imp which incorporates a Corgi Club Membership Form.
Also present is the little still-sealed bag of traffic cones and a sheet of unapplied racing numbers.
Nice to see that the Retailer Card is still present too.
