Notes
An impressively detailed truck from Corgi.
With a bright red and white paint finish and a perfect ‘Holmes Wrecker’ transfers on both sides. Intact wing mirrors with both reflective stickers still in place. Intact and straight shiny gold double horns on the roof. Complete red hazard ‘light’. Both spare tyres are still in place (couple of little cracks to one). Chevron paper label at the rear of the model has a little age transparency now. Occasioanl little dot to the paint finish. Looking like old shop stock, this gold boom version displays very well!
Polystyrene inner is clean, bright and fresh with a lovely original Corgi Cog label. Complete with both mechanics.
The blue and yellow card and cellophane-fronted box has such day-one bright and crisp card! Notably intact smooth original cellophane window too.
Little handling tear on one side. Shopkeeper’s price is neatly pencilled on the box reverse.
Issued between 1967-74.
