Notes
One of the most eagerly sought-after Corgi models, especially with fully working chimes.
The Ford Thames Van has a shining blue and cream finish with striped awning (very slightly faded) and decorative trimmings, sliding windows and notably when you turn the handle the chimes play the complete tune (5 notes)! Bright plated fittings and complete ’Wall’s’ transfers on both sides. Windows are rather ‘foggy’ now (common fault – over time dust gets trapped and adhered to the interior surface of the windows). Couple of tiny dots to the paint finish.
Nice to see that this example comes with the clean and bright colourful card stand as well as the wrap-around card packing piece. Full set of unapplied labels on a backing sheet. Corgi Club Membership Form* and packing ring is included too. (No Instruction Leaflet).
The decorative card box is clean and quite bright with a crisp feel. Plenty of end flap spring. Silky feel to the card. Minor age wear only.
A truly nostalgic piece!
