Notes
A sought-after, scarce Belgian export issue made between 1965-66 only. Easily distinguishable with its ingenious “glowing” Trans-O-Lite lighting, this was the first Corgi ‘special’ export model. What a beauty – in mint condition! Spring suspension on shaped spun wheels, and the chef rotates when the knob on the roof is turned. Perfect “Patates Frites” and “Snack Bar” labels.
The box is crisp, bright and complete. Minor handling wear – a very small edge stain and a couple of flecks of surface loss at an end flap.
