Corgi Gift Set 20

Notes

Issued between 1961-64, this is a rare and sought-after Gift Set!

The few examples that come to the market place nearly always have models with a poor, heavily pitted paint finish. The comparatively fragile boxes are often in a very poor state. This example has fared better than many of the surviving examples.
This gold-plated set comprises:

1) 224 Bentley Continental, with very minor light surface pitting to the finish (these models are nearly always found with a poor finish – this one has fared better than most!). Intact bonnet emblem, red interior, spun wheels. Jewelled front and rear lights. Original, as-new grey tyres. Corgi accessory wheel trims and number plates applied.

2) 229 Chevrolet Corvair, with minimal surface pitting to the finish, red interior. Smooth-running original tyres. Couple of marks on the roof and a little bumper marking. Number plates front and rear.

3) 234 Ford Consul. With a couple of areas where the paint has flaked away (at one edge of the opening bonnet and one of the top edges of the side windows). Gold plated base too!

All three cars sit within a two-tier card tray which is bright and clean, looking fresh with tiny wear caused by the models.

Outer sleeve is bright and deeply-coloured, complete with intact original cellophane window notably.
Some creasing and storage wear with a few light edge rubs.
