Corgi 1143
Corgi 1143 American La France Aerial Rescue Truck. Very, very near mint/boxed (early box) with Retailer Card. From The Old School Collection.
Notes
A detailed and impressive fire engine from Corgi’s Major Pack range. This articulated fire truck is complete with all six firemen and all sections of the telescopic ladder, jewelled headlights, aerial and perfect “American La France” transfers. Certainly, this model has never been played with. A few little marks that you have to search for. Complete with all delicate parts intact including the wing mirrors! Detailed cast wheels in red. Rotating turntable and detachable tractor unit.
Virtually mint condition – as fine an example as you will find.
The early light blue and yellow large cellophane-fronted window box has original cellophane (small edge split). Card is bright, crisp and fresh-looking with minor wear only. Wonderfully vibrant detailed scene on the box reverse.
Moulded polystyrene inner sleeve is in fine condition.
Great to see that that this example comes with the rare original header card/retailer card too!
