C494
Corgi 494 Bedford Tipper Truck. Very near mint/boxed. 1st issue, with packing piece. Crisp box! From The Collection of a Doctor.
Notes
First issue example from 1967 with a day-one bright, original red and yellow finish, with both wing mirrors intact (if rather bent back now due to the packing piece being incorrectly placed in the box at some time). Grey steering wheel. No reflective pieces on the wing mirrors. Cast wheels, and as-new original tyres.
Couple of tiny dots at a wheel arch, visible to the critical eye.
The picture box is very bright, clean – and very crisp! Light wear includes a crease and a tiny portion of surface loss, visible at one picture surface edge. Original card packing piece
