Notes
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 (save for the merest pinprick to one), complete Monte Carlo labels on bonnet and boot, shaped spun wheels with suspension. In virtually mint condition, with a mere dot or two visible after minute scrutiny.
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 (tiny mark to one). Shaped spun wheels with suspension, jewelled headlights and “Trans-O-Lite” lights. In virtually mint condition.
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. Complete racing number ‘75’ on both sides, intact rally labels on bonnet and boot. Exceptional fresh condition on this model.
Faint surface mark on the roof (may clean off) – and that’s about it!
The colourfully-illustrated detailed card plinth on which each car sits is in clean, bright and fresh condition. No grubbiness. This makes such a pleasing backdrop for the models.
Couple of small wheel slot tears at one wheel slot. Hard to fault otherwise.
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 fresh. One tear emanating from an end flap and very minor wear besides. No graffiti. Period price label at an end flap.
A desirable and scarce Corgi Gift Set.
