Corgi Gift Set 38 1965 Monte Carlo Rally. Very near mint-very, very near mint/boxed. Scarce, complete with all packing - and all original! The best example we have ever handled - from an impeccable collection in The Netherlands.
Notes
Barely handled and extremely well looked after, we are especially delighted to offer this scarce original Gift Set for sale.
The set comprises:
1) Corgi 318 Mini Cooper ‘S’ in bright red finish with a white roof, jewelled head and spotlights, complete racing number ‘52’ on both sides, complete Monte Carlo labels on bonnet and boot, shaped spun wheels with suspension. In virtually mint condition, with a couple of near microscopic dots and a couple of little tarnished spots on the sump guard.
2) Corgi 322 Rover 2000 in lustrous metallic maroon finish with a white roof, notably complete Monte Carlo labels on bonnet and boot, racing number ‘136’ on both doors. Shaped spun wheels with suspension, jewelled headlights and “Trans-O-Lite” lights. In very near mint condition with just one mark at the rear. Stray stroke of factory silver on the passenger-side front wing.
3) Corgi 323 Citroen DS19 in pale blue finish with a white roof. Very, very near mint condition! Shaped spun wheels with suspension, jewelled lights, intact aerial on the roof. Racing number ‘75’ on both sides, Rally labels on bonnet and boot. Exceptional fresh condition on this model. Tiniest probably as-made factory mark at the rear transfer (near-microscopic).
The colourfully-illustrated detailed card plinth on which each car sits is in clean, bright and fresh condition. No tears or grubbiness; and all of the push-out slots where the cars sit are still in situ!
Notably, this set comes with all the original packing pieces i.e. the white card surround for each model and the white card packing piece which is placed on top of the models.
The pictorial all-card outer box is very bright and crisp with no tears and vibrant strong colours. Really difficult to find the outer box this good.
Tiniest wear only. Period pencilled price at an end flap.
An exceptional example of this desirable rare Corgi Gift Set – we have not seen better.
