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. 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 both opening hinges.
Strong vivid colours on sturdy card. Ruffling and storage wear besides. Old tape which kept the box closed still in situ.

All in all, this is a scarce and appealing two-piece Gift Set.
