C448
Corgi 448 B.M.C. Mini Police Van with Tracker Dog. Very near mint/boxed. From a very fine private Cheshire collection.
Notes
A superb example of this popular Corgi model made between 1964-69. In close to pristine condition, this Austin Police Mini Van has a deep blue finish with a red detailed interior, shining shaped spun wheels with suspension, aerial, jewelled headlights and perfect ‘POLICE’ labels on both sides.
Tiny edge rubbing at wheel arches and roof rim (have to really peer closely to see). None of the expected little chips at the rear opening doors.
Also included are the original figures of the police dog handler and tracker dog complete with his lead (often missing!).
All safely slotted in to the card plinth stand with a colourful backdrop. On the reverse, there is background information on both the B.M.C. Mini Van and the training of the Alsation police dog, and the work they do. The card plinth is close to perfect; crisp clean card complete with both pull-out end tabs. Small tear at the slot for the dog handler and a litle scribble on plinth reverse.
The outer box is very clean, crisp and brightly-coloured with no tears.
Very nice indeed, with an attractive period shop label on one non-picture side.
Corgi Club Membership Form is included.
