Notes
The first Police car made by Corgi between 1958-61, first in a blue card box and then later in a blue and yellow box.
This example has a pleasing gloss black finish, shiny shaped spun wheels, complete Police sign on the roof (with bright POLICE labels), intact aerial and a generally bright baseplate (couple of tarnished spots). Especially difficult to find with shaped spun wheels (usually flat spun), and in this blue and yellow box (usually blue box).
A little rubbing at the bumpers and over-riders and negligible rubs at side raised body-lines. Small area of casting roughness on one side of the bonnet.
The pictorial card box is clean, bright and complete. Couple of grubby marks and light wear. No graffiti or tears.
Nice example of a rare Corgi variation.
