Corgi 205M
Corgi 205M Riley Pathfinder Saloon. Scarce darkest blue mechanical issue. Very near mint (marks on base)/boxed, with promotional Booklet. From The 25 Year Collection.
Notes
A most attractive and scarce issue, this mechanical version has a gleaming deep Navy Blue finish, with shining flat spun wheels, and fine original silver detailing at radiator and bumpers.
Well-shaped original treaded tyres.
Hard to find a mark to the handsome, original paint finish, although the base has a scratch and a few minor marks/rubs.
For comparison, please note the colour difference between this Navy Blue issue (pictured on the right) and the Royal Blue example also from this collection.
The early powder blue box is fresh, clean, crisp and deeply-coloured. Hard to find these early blue boxes so good!
Shopkeeper’s period penned prices on the top surface.
Promotional Booklet is included (couple of little tears at an edge).
