Notes
We are delighted to offer this scarce original Gift Set for sale.
It comprises:
First issue with a black and white Renault in all original condition with delicate labels. Minor loss to the bonnet transfer. Complete with spare wheel under the bonnet. Driver, camera man and camera.
Later issues would have a plain orange sleeve insert, but this slightly earlier issue has the attractive tree-lined backdrop with the little clear blister attached, containing the race leader on his bicycle in his yellow jersey.
Polystyrene plinth is clean and complete.
The header card window box is complete and bright with original cellophane (couple of very small splits). Light crease on the card reverse where it joins the main body of the box. Light wear/grubbiness.
Comes with the often missing model specific leaflet:
Note the original owner has removed the Join The Corgi Club Form section which we assume he filled in and sent off to Corgi in order to become a member!
