Notes
This collector wanted only the best examples in his collection ? always a discerning buyer of the finest examples he could find. After over 25 years, he has now decided to part with items from his own extensive collection.
This is one of them.
This fine Corgi car was issued between 1963-68 in various colour finishes. This version has a distinctive tomato-red, glossy paint finish with yellow detailed interior. Opening bonnet and boot. Spare wheel and piece of luggage still stowed.
Shiny base and as-new original tyres. Bright shaped spun wheels with suspension. Silver baseplate.

Small area of very minor paint crazing on the bonnet, otherwise hard to fault.
Vivid, crisp box has a small end flap hinge tear. Tiny wear besides. Period price label at an end flap. Penned number at an end flap.
