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.
In near mint condition with spring suspension on shaped spun wheels, and the chef rotates when the knob on the roof is turned. Complete"Patates Frites" and “Snack Bar” labels.
Note that there is a paint chip on the white paint finish around the opening hatch and paint loss on the handle. Couple of very minor marks besides. Small surface split and a very light flat spot on one tyre.
The pictorial box is bright and complete. Small puncture and a little area of surface loss on a non-picture side. Couple of light stains at an end flap. Minor wear besides. Comes with the Instruction Leaflet/Corgi Club Membership Form.
