Corgi Gift Set 35

Notes

From one of the largest, private collections we have ever seen, with many items bought new at the time and stored away until now. Taken as a whole, the collection provides an exciting, kaleidoscopic snapshot of popular diecast toys issued during the 1960?s -1970?s.
A desirable 3-piece Gift Set made between 1964-68 comprising:
i) 418 Taxi in black with fluorescent orange original details , lemon interior and driver. Flat spun wheels. Near mint with a few little contact marks /rubs.
ii) 4*68 London Routemaster Bus ‘Naturally Corgi Toys’*. Jewelled headlights. Shaped spun wheels. All original vivid red finish with complete transfers on both sides. Little creaser to the rear paper label. Peppering of little marks head-on where it has come into contact with the Taxi in the box.

Policeman figure (directing the traffic) on a white circular plinth.

Delightful card plinth on which all items sit with an unmistakable London scene depicted. Virtually pristine.

Outer card box has another colourfully illustrated London scene in which both models and policeman are depicted. Vibrant, day-one colours on crisp, complete card. Crease and a couple of end flap tears. Couple of tiny pin-head sized punctures. Period shop label at an end flap. MInor wear besides. Nice to see the packing sleeve is still present too!
