C440
Corgi 440 Ford Consul Super Estate Car Golfing Set. Very near mint/boxed. Complete with all figures. From The Berlin Collection.
Notes
A popular Corgi set issued between 1966-69 and comprising:
1) Corgi 491 Ford Consul Super Estate Car in deep metallic blue finish with “wood” side panels, suspension on bright shaped spun wheels, jewelled headlights, cream interior and opening tailgate. Well-shaped original tyres.
Presents well with gleaming paint finish and chrome trim. Note the little mark on the back of the roof caused by lifting up the tailgate – there is a very small area of rough casting at the tailgate edge and this has brushed the paint causing the little mark.
2) Golfer, caddie and trolley; all original. Note that the caddie leans a little now.
Inner card stand is intensely crisp , bright and fresh, with the original piece of card on the base, too. Tiny wear only.
The outer box is complete and brightly-coloured, although note the ‘in the print’ speckling which gives the box a grubby appearance in places. Light wear. Card feels crisp. With Corgi Club Membership Form.
