Corgi Gift Set 36 Oldsmobile Toronado, Speedboat & Trailer. Very near mint-mint/boxed. With PACKING SLEEVE. Scarce. Cast wheel issue. From 'The New European' Collection.
Notes
With a Corgi collection richly evoking the period between the late 1950’s through to the mid1970’s, this large European Collection has been lovingly compiled by an enthusiast with particular emphasis on point of sale, including original cabinets and literature, prototypes, promotional items, alongside a high quality collection of individual models and Gift Sets.
This scarce original Gift Set was issued between 1967-71 and comprises:
Corgi 264 Oldsmobile Toronado in metallic peacock blue, cream interior, detailed cast wheels with suspension, intact tow hook, swivelling headlights.
In unused close to mint condition with just a couple of minor marks (appears never to have been removed from the plinth only rarely).
Chrome Trailer with cast wheels and Glastron Sportsman Speedboat are in virtually mint-mint condition (again, looking as if they have never been removed from the plinth). Bright paper labels ‘Swordfish’ on both sides, intact windscreen. Complete with the three original figures and intact twin outboard motors.
Polystyrene plinth is complete, and notably intact. Looking fresh. Note the two original yellow elastic bands which would secure the items to the plinth.
Plain orange card backdrop.
The window box is complete, clean and fresh with intact original cellophane. Tiniest wear only.
Hard to find this good – and even harder to find with the buff card packing sleeve.
Exceptional!
