Corgi Gift Set 18 Emergency Services SOS
Emergency Services SOS by Corgi Toys, Gift Set No. 18. (Assumed) mint/boxed (never opened). From an old shop store find in Yorkshire and taken out of the QDT Vault after 6 years.
Notes
Stored away for decades, this Gift Set is part of a startling old shop stock find. Many items have never been opened until now, with some outer boxes in a close to pristine state and others showing some signs of storage wear.
Issued between 1975-80, this 3-Piece Gift Set comprises:
1) Corgi 402 Ford Cortina GXL Police Car. With jewelled headlights and Police labels/blue light on the roof. Opening doors. Whizzwheels.
2) Corgi 482 ‘Vigilant’ Range Rover Ambulance. With Red Cross and Ambulance paper labels, two blue roof lights, opening rear hatch. Whizzwheels.
3) Corgi 921 Hughes 369 Helicopter with working lifting winch and operating rotor blades.
Two Police signs, figures and stretcher included in the set.
Polystyrene tray and pink card inner. The long slim outer box has been well-stored and barely handled. Original cellophane window has a small storage tear. Box does not appear to have ever been opened, although it may be necessary to carefully open in order to ensure safe transit to the new owner.
