Notes
A truly outstanding example of this sought-after Corgi model; just about the nicest example we have had in a long while!
The car is absolutely gleaming; paint finish, all chrome parts, baseplate. Complete original paper label on the bonnet could not be bettered!
Functions perfectly.
The original ring is included – very bright and fresh too!
The colourful card plinth is very crisp, fresh and bright, with just a little wear and the occasional minor wheel slot tear. Version with a scarlet central panel over which the car is placed.
Plenty of information on plinth reverse:
The outer box too is clean, brightly-coloured and fresh – this example has been very carefully looked-after.
Small area of surface loss at an end flap where a price label has been removed at some time.
Both inner packing rings which fit over the top of the roof button are included, along with the wrap-around card packing and Corgi Club Membership Form:
A premium piece to add to your collection.
