Corgi Gift Set 15 Land-Rover And Rice's Beaufort Double Horse Box with mare & foal. Very near mint-mint/boxed. Unusual transition issue with a combination of wheel types. 2nd issue black 'rainbow' box. From a large, stunning diverse collection with many items in old shop stock condition. Removed from the box for the 1st time to take these pictures! With packing, foal still banded to the horse box.
Notes
From one of the largest, private collections we have ever seen, with many items bought new at the time and stored away until now. Taken as a whole, the collection provides an exciting, kaleidoscopic snapshot of popular diecast toys issued during the 1960?s -1970?s.
Never removed from its box until now, this a a fine set in unused condition comprising:
1) Corgi 438 Land Rover in bright mid-blue finish with a white detachable plastic canopy. Perfect ‘Corgi Pony Club’ labels on both sides. Whizzwheels with suspension. In mint condition.

2) Corgi 112 Rice Beaufort Horse-Box. In matching mid blue and white finish. Note that this model has cast wheels. Flock-lined drop-down rear and side doors reveal a detailed interior with partition. Perfect ‘Rice’ with horse-shoe emblem at rear door. Inside, of course, is the original plastic figure of the brown mare with card packing . The little white foal is still banded to the side. In very near mint condition (note one factory chip at the side and a couple of very small marks besides).
Both vehicles sit in a crisp clean and bright yellow card insert.
The large cellophane-fronted black ‘rainbow’ window box is crisp and clean with vivid colours throughout. Intact cellophane window. Minor storage crease. Period price label.
