Corgi 153
Corgi 153 Proteus Campbell Bluebird Record Car. Very near mint/boxed (really crisp). A lovely example from the Berlin Collection.
Notes
This black plastic-wheeled version is in superb condition with perfect crossed Union Jack flags at the nose ( this is the later version – earlier issue has one UK and one USA flag).
In original condition throughout with an outstanding lustre. One mere dot on one of the raised arches and a little minor marking on the nose rim. Still a beauty!
The long slim box is a fitting partner with barely any wear at all. Extremely crisp, bright and fresh. No graffiti. End flaps feel as if they have been carefully prised open a couple of times – ever.
Gives the impression of unsold, old shop stock.
