C511
Corgi 511 Chipperfield's Poodle Truck. Mint/boxed (wear). Complete. From the Italian collection.
Notes
Issued between 1970-71. A beautiful example in fine condition, this set is obviously unused.
It is complete with all accessories including the plastic bubble which fits over the poodles and trainer on the stand.
The blue and red Chevrolet Pick Up with cast wheels, is in fine original condition, with comical “moving” (variview) Dachsund sticker above the cab roof (starting to lift at one side), and intact ‘PERFORMING POODLES’ labels on both sides. Perfect suspension on all four wheels and gleaming chrome. We have not seen better!
The fragile white plastic inner has a few little splits (common fault).
The outer box is brightly-coloured with no graffiti. A little age wear and the cellophane front has been replaced at some time. Inside seam of the box has a little repair (not visible until you remove the white insert).
