Notes
One of only just a handful we have ever seen – a previously unknown version.
This Corgi Routemaster Bus is in very close to mint condition with a gleaming bright red original paint finish. Nicely detailed bus with all the little details, not present in later issues. Shiny spun wheels.
With ’BOOTH’S HOUSE OF LORDS GIN’ label complete on both sides.
Barely a mark to the paint finish.
The brightly-coloured, crisp and complete card picture box has light wear only. Remains of a period price label on an end flap.
Many thanks to two of our customers for letting us know that they have an example of this model. Both have the labels overlaid on OUTSPAN transfers. Both were purchased in the U.S.
