Notes

One of the most eagerly sought-after Corgi models, especially in this condition with fully working chimes!

The Ford Thames Van has a shining blue and cream finish with colourful awning and decorative trimmings, sliding windows and notably when you turn the handle the chimes play the complete tune (5 notes)! Bright plated fittings and complete ’Wall’s’ transfers on both sides. What refreshing change to see the clear windows and sliding doors – so often they are misted on the inside. Tiny window scuff if you want to fault this model.
Nice to see that this example comes with the crisp and bright colourful card stand, the card packing ring and the wrap-around card packing piece. Full set of unapplied labels on a backing sheet. Instruction Leaflet/Corgi Club Membership Form is included too.

The decorative card box is very crisp, clean and bright. Little seam tear and a very subtle repaired tear that is really difficult to notice. Period price label at an end flap.
A truly nostalgic piece!
