Notes
A scarce set issued between 1967-69 comprising:
1) Corgi 490 VW Breakdown Truck, shaped spun wheels with suspension.Couple of areas where a minute amount of blue colour is showing due to contact with the deep blue inner. May be possible to carefully remove. With strung tow hook, red VW emblem, complete “RACING CLUB” paper labels on both sides. Both spare wheels are present, as well as an intact opening red plastic tool box, complete with all the chrome tools. No chevron paper label.
2)* Corgi 156 Cooper-Maserati on a red trailer* with detailed cast wheels (front two wheels are gold-coloured). Virtually mint model is still banded to the red trailer. Note that one of the tyres has white residue or similar in one small area. Light rub head-on. Couple of very minor (surely as-made) marks to the red trailer.
The contents are housed in a distinctive and most attractive card picture box with a flip-up colourful backdrop for display. Typical stress tear at one of the opening hinges. Strong vivid colours on sturdy card. Ruffling and storage wear besides.
Inner has no tears, colours are vivid. Both winged card pieces are intact which may be used to prop open the box on display. Rarely found with the little stiff* plastic ‘bubble’ packing piece*.
All in all, this is a scarce and appealing two-piece Gift Set.
