Price: £225.00
This item is sold.
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 Losch Auction House in Germany during 2000.
Sold through the Losch Auction House, Germany in 2000, this was part of the Corgi Archive, property of Marcel Van Cleemput.
An exciting and detailed Mercedes Unimog Fire Dept. Truck finished in unfaded red with a black chassis, brass rear section with grey shutters, roof light, two ladder fixings on the roof. Looks as though four ladder fixing sections were initially attached to the roof. (although as pictured in the Losch Auction catalogue). Brass beneath is clearly visible where the two ladder attachments would have been affixed. Straight roof horns, both wing mirrors in place. Free-running wheels, flat spot to one of the chunky tyres. Bright ’FIRE DEPT" labels.
