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 very close to mint condition with spring suspension on shaped spun wheels, and the chef rotates when the knob on the roof is turned. Complete “Patates Frites” label. “Snack Bar” label has a couple of tiny lower edge nicks. Hard to fault otherwise.
The pictorial box is complete, if showing a little wear now. Two very small tears.
