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.

This is a splendid example of this popular Corgi model, presented in the winged blister-style box. Not an easy model to find. The Jaguar has a bright mid-blue metallic finish, black interior, spoked wheels, opening doors, bonnet (revealing a detailed engine), and boot. Detailed interior has tip up seats and a rear sliding seat. Nicely detailed on the underside too. As-new, fine tread tyres with ‘Corgi Toys’ embossed. Brightest chrome bumpers and distinctive recessed headlights. Complete label at the rear.
In very close to mint; obviously unused condition.

Tiniest roof rub and a little mark head-on. Couple of very minor marks besides.
The attractive box looks like old shop stock. Such crisp, fresh and bright card with all the delicate parts intact – and that includes the clear plastic ‘bubble’. So often found broken or brittle and yellowed! Unpunched header card too. Front edge of the card is unruffled and perfectly intact – (again a vulnerable area that is often worn). Bright card plinth (as-new card) on which the car sits.
Comes with the usually missing piece of stiff clear plastic packing which fits over the car inside the ‘bubble’. Plenty of information on the Jaguar at box reverse.

Delighted to see that it comes with the detachable winged card piece too. Superb condition too!
Period price label.
An exciting Corgi model to add to your collection!
