Notes
This is the first issue version with the rare green Bentley.
Issued between 1966-69, this set would have been released at the start of the production run.
The set comprises:
1)John Steed’s Bentley in green and black finish, correct for this set with red metal wire wheels. Figure of John Steed at the wheel. In very close to mint condition. Fine original tyres.
2) Emma Peel’s Lotus Elan S2 is in sparkling white finish. Graded near mint plus since it has three small touch-ins towards the top of the driver’s door. Suspension on shaped spun wheels. Fine original tyres. Original figure of Emma Peel.
Three plastic umbrellas. These are notably the originals – so often they can go astray, particularly bearing in mind how small they are and how they were never stored in a packet but merely slotted into holes on the plinth. So many that we see have (pretty decent) replacements but they do lack the fine detailing of the originals. These originals have the furling details to the ‘rolled-up’ cloth part of the umbrella and delicate details on the handle, fine point at the base. Little details perhaps but really nice to see!
Inner card plinth is bright with vivid illustrations. Small tear at a wheel slot and light wear.
The colourful card outer box is complete and bright.
Some tape residue in places and minor age wear. Period penned price on one box face. Small end flap tear. Minor wear. Corgi Club Membership Form.
Card packing piece too:
