Corgi Toys 150 Vanwall Formula 1 Car
Vanwall Formula 1 Grand Prix Car by Corgi Toys, No. 150. Very near mint/boxed. Scarce late ITALIAN EXPORT issue in mid-green, silver cast wheels, clear screen, silver seat, 2 rivets & transverse print on base. Racing Number 1. A First for QDT! From The Gower Collection.
Notes
Another remarkable find from this collector. Anecdotally, the Italian market did not want a red Vanwall and so this version was made for export in this bright green colour with cast wheels, a silver seat, racing number 1 and two rivets on the base. Cast details on the base are transverse.
Complete racing number ‘1’ and ‘Vanwall’ lettering at the side. Clear windscreen. As-new fine tread original tyres.
Transverse writing on the two-rivetted base with ‘Made in GT Britain’:
Occasional mere dot /light rub to the paint finish.
The later blue and yellow picture box is complete, fresh and bright with a quite a crisp feel. Minor wear/edge rub.
