C203M
Corgi 203M Vauxhall Velox Saloon. Near mint plus/boxed (repair). Scarce deep red mechanical issue version with silver bonnet detail. With colour promotional booklet. From the 1200 model Italian collection.
Notes
This desirable early ‘mechanical’ model (with perfectly functioning flywheel motor) is in gleaming, close to mint, condition in vivid deep red. This is the version with the silver bonnet flute detail. In fine all original condition.
There is a little rough casting on the roof and also at one side. Here the paint finish is a little rubbed as is usually the case with areas of rough casting. Few tiny dots besides.
Folded colour promotional booklet is included.
The early blue picture box is complete and vividly-coloured, although there is a notable, carefully repaired tear starting at an end flap and continuing on the box underside. End flap has been re-inforced with tape too. Little tear besides. Shopkeeper’s pencilled price at an end flap.
