Notes
A sought-after, scarce Belgian export issue made between 1965-66 only. Easily distinguishable with its ingenious “glowing” Trans-O-Lite lighting, this was the first Corgi ‘special’ export model. What a beauty – in very, very close to mint condition!
Spring suspension on shaped spun wheels, and the chef rotates when the knob on the roof is turned. Perfect “Patates Frites” labels.
“Snack Bar” label has a tiny top edge nick. Hard to fault otherwise.
The box is crisp, bright and complete. A little handling/age wear – including end flap creasing and a small end flap seam tear, end flap edge ruffling. Old price label at an end flap.
