C216M
Corgi 216M Austin A.40 Saloon. Rare. Very near mint/boxed (wear). Red & black issue (mechanical) with flat spun wheels. Scarce model from The Berkshire Collection.
Notes
This is a scarce early Corgi mechanical car – so hard to find, especially in this condition. In red with a black roof and flat hubs, this model with a flywheel motor (works well) was made for a short time only between 1959-60. The car has a lovely, gleaming, all original paint finish.
Well-shaped original tyres.
A little box contact rubbing to the over-riders, otherwise hard to fault.
The blue and yellow picture box is complete, bright. One end flap has a tear. A little wear besides including a few stain spots. Period price on one box face.
