Notes
A superb, unplayed with example of this popular Corgi model issued between 1964-69. The Austin Police Mini Van has a very deep blue-black finish with a red detailed interior and bold ‘POLICE’ lettering.
Suspension on shaped spun wheels with suspension, intact aerial, jewelled headlights.
A couple of near microscopic marks at a wheel arch – you would be forgiven for calling this van mint!
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 tear-free, virtually pristine inner plinth (correct with no pictorial backdrop scene).
The outer box is complete, bright and intact. Crisp. Shopkeeper’s price at an end flap. Small crease.
A fine all-original example of this scarce issue.
