This item is sold.
Notes
A small range of Corgi models (5 in total) were gold plated in 1961 and were sold by Marks & Spencer. Few are available and are sought-after nowadays, even if they did not sell particularly well at the time.
This example is in excellent original condition with the distinctive mirror plated finish. A few minor chips and a little more at the nose of the vehicle. Windscreen is no longer present.
The racing car is mounted on a black moulded base with a gold name label. Also present is the piece of clear perspex which fits over the model when on the stand. The special Trophy box is in near mint condition – rarely found in this condition. A few little creases only and a little tear on the hinge of one end flap. ‘Vanwall’ sticker is still affixed at one end flap.
An interesting piece of Corgi history – and certainly a shrewd investment piece.
