Corgi Toys 422 Bedford Van

Notes
Surely one of the most attractive of the early Corgi commercials, this ‘Corgi Toys’ Bedford Van has a vibrant mid-blue finish with a bright yellow roof. Complete Corgi transfers with the unmistakable dog logo on both sides. Flat spun wheels and a shiny tinplate baseplate. Original fine tread tyres are well-shaped.
Issued between 1960-62, in various blue and yellow combinations, this is one of the most difficult to find (and our personal favourite).
This Bedford Van has a pleasing lustre to the paint finish and is in close to mint condition, with a few marks. Note the addition of the period Corgi accessory tax disc.
The picture box is complete, showing a little age-handling wear at end flaps. Light pencilled writing at an end flap.
