Notes
Issued between 1962-65 in a variety of colour finishes. After 1965, this car became the Saints Volvo (renumbered Corgi 258).
This example has a fresh gleaming deep beige finish with silver detailing at raised body lines, bumpers, radiator.
Displays beautifully with shining shaped spun wheels and jewelled headlights. Fine, well-shaped original tyres.
In very close to mint condition.
The picture box is complete and bright, showing minor wear and a couple of pinpoint punctures that are easily overlooked. Faint pencilled writing on one side. Crisp feel.
Not an easy colour variation to find.
