Condition: Very near mint with driver and intact screen. Few little marks only including tiny marking to one of the wheels. Complete racing number. Intact stripe. Box is very crisp, clean and very bright. Corgi Club Membership Form.

Note that this is not a later ‘made-up’ set – all items appear to be the originals from this set. The card boxes of the individual racing cars do not bear individual prices and are exceptionally bright and crisp, showing that they have been kept away form the light inside the box.
Very nice!
