C494
Corgi 494 Bedford Tipper Truck. Very near mint/boxed. 1st issue, complete with packing piece and Corgi Club Membership Form. From the Italian collection.
Notes
First issue example from 1967 with a bright original red and yellow finish, with both wing mirrors complete and intact, cast hubs. In unplayed with, original condition.
Close inspection reveals a small area where the paint has blistered on the cab roof (only visible when the tipper section is lifted). One mere dot to the yellow finish, and that’s about it!
The picture box is close to shop-fresh with a crisp feel. Brightly-coloured card is intact. Tiny area of surface removal on one box face and a few stray dots of ink on another side. No graffiti. Original card packing piece and Corgi Club Membership Form is included.
