C430
Corgi 430 Ford Thunderbird Bermuda Taxi. Scarce issue with mid-blue & red canopy. Very near mint/boxed, with packing ring. From The Monty Calme Collection.
Notes
First issued during 1962, this model is in very fine, original condition, complete with intact, mid-blue and red detachable canopy, driver. Ford Thunderbird car is finished in white with a bright deep yellow interior. ‘TAXI’ and ‘BERMUDA’ transfers are notably bright and complete. Intact original screen.
Very nice indeed!
Grey base and as-new, fine tread original tyres.
Barely a mark! Note the accidental dab of factory silver at the rear.
The box is complete, clean and bright. Plenty of end flap spring. Minor wear and note the mostly erased pencilled period price on one picture face. Packing ring is included.
Not an easy model to find, especially complete and intact. In our experience, a more difficult find than the version with a green & red canopy.
