C403
Corgi 403 Bedford 12CWT Van "Daily Express". Very near mint/boxed. From The Berlin Collection.
Notes
A gleaming vivid original deep blue paint finish on this early Bedford Van! One of the first Corgi models made, manufacture of this model began during 1956. Complete clean and fresh-looking ‘Daily Express’ labels on both sides, and flat spun wheels. Original tyres with fine tread run well. .
Very, very nice!
In all original condition throughout. Closest scrutiny reveals the tiniest box rub and a few tarnish spots on the base. Couple of mere dots to the paint finish besides.
The early blue box is complete, crisp and strongly-coloured. Minimal edge rubbing and a very small light stain at an end flap. Couple of light creases to the tuck in part of one large end flap. Pencilled price at an end flap.
