C216
Corgi 216 Austin A40. Two-tone blue issue with flat spun wheels. Very near mint/boxed. From The Somerset Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1959-62, this Austin car has a shining two tone blue finish, and flat spun wheels. Bright baseplate and supple, well-shaped original tyres.
If you are looking to fault it, you may note a few tiny dots.
Displays well with a gleaming unfaded paint finish, shining silver trim – looking as if it has barely been out of the box!
The box is complete, strongly-coloured and crisp. Plenty of end flap spring! Period pencilled price at an end flap.
