Corgi 440 Ford Consul Super Estate Car Golfing Set. Very near mint/boxed. Scarce with packing & additional 'Opening Tailgate' sign. From The Reference Collection.
Notes
A popular Corgi set issued between 1966-69, this Cortina Estate model has a lustrous deep metallic blue finish, and comes complete with the rare ‘Opening Tailgate’ sign and card packing.
This set comprises:
1) Corgi 491 Ford Consul Super Estate Car with “wood” side panels, suspension on bright shaped spun wheels, jewelled headlights, cream interior and opening tailgate. Bright chrome. Fine, well-shaped tyres.
Hard to find the merest mark!
2) Golfer, caddie and trolley; all original and as-new!
Inner card stand has vibrant colours on crisp, barely handled card. Exceptional.
The outer box is complete and tear-free. Crisp feel. Little corner crumple. Very light age/handling wear includes a crease. Some ‘foxing’ in places.
Corgi Club Membership Form is included.
Rarely seen with the Opening Tailgate’ sign and card wrap-around packing piece too.
