Original Prototype of Corgi Chevrolet Van 'BARDINI'S CIRCUS'. Never released, pictured in 'The Great Book of Corgi'. From 'The New European' Collection.
Notes
An exceptional collection of prototypes were purchased by ‘The New European’ Collector, largely originating from two well-documented sources i.e. the auction of the property of
Marcel Van Cleemput at Sotheby’s Auction House in 1999 and The Lösch Auction House in Germany during 2000.
Pictured in The Great Book of Corgi (page 377), this colourfully decorated Chevrolet Van has opening rear doors, revealing the ticket office. Measures approx. 12cms.
Paper labels at the roof attachment are a little faded now. Marking to the paint finish in places.
