Notes
A scarce set issued between 1967-69 comprising:
1) Corgi 490 VW Breakdown Truck, shaped spun wheels with suspension. Occasional little mark to the paint and a small area where a minute amount of blue colour is showing due to contact with the deep blue inner. May be possible to carefully remove. With strung tow hook, red VW emblem, complete “RACING CLUB” paper labels on both sides. Both spare wheels are present. Note that the opening red plastic tool box has a broken hinge now, although it does come complete with all the chrome tools and chevron paper label.
2)Corgi 156 Cooper-Maserati on a red trailer with detailed cast wheels. Very close to mint model is still banded to the red trailer. Barely a mark!
The contents are housed in a distinctive and most attractive card picture box with a flip-up colourful backdrop for display. Typical stress tear at both of the opening hinges. Strong vivid colours on sturdy card. Light wear besides.
Inner is strongly-coloured. Both winged card pieces are intact which may be used to prop open the box on display. Rarely found with the little stiff* plastic ‘bubble’ packing piece* (torn).
Corgi Club Membership Form.
All in all, this is a scarce and appealing two-piece Gift Set.
