Notes
A scarce issue. This unused Corgi model has a gleaming original tan paint finish, with a red VW emblem, detailed cast wheels, and Corgi logo with Breakdown lettering below on both sides* (as pictured on the box). Original fine tread tyres, opening red toolbox and plated fittings.
Rear chevron label. Both spare tyres stowed.
Occasional tiny mark and a stray dot of factory silver on the bonnet. The winch mechanism has an area of rough casting.
The box is clean, crisp and brightly-coloured generally. A little wear only. Crisp feel. Corgi Club Membership Form.
