Notes

A sought-after and scarce Gift Set (1966-68) – this is only the second Interim version we have ever seen. With NEW SPECIFICATION (Interim) Label.
The Old School Collector, who is a Corgi Specialist comments on the rarity of these Interim Sets and how near-impossible it was to find one:

“I searched for a long time to find an even better example with the red ‘New Spec’ Label. Impossible! I never found another in my collecting life! This is the only interim set I ever saw; the old style lid with the sticker and the new shape polystyrene tray.”

This exciting and colourful set comprises:

1) Corgi 1148 Scammell Car Transporter . Very near mint. Barely a mark. Full complement of yellow plastic chocks.

All contents are housed in a polystyrene tray which is formed for this particular issue (so different shaping for central section when compared with the polystyrene tray for the Ford version). A little wear including a part split to two of the raised pieces. Complete with Corgi label with dog logo still in place.
