C1130
Corgi 1130 Circus Horse Transporter with Horses. Very near mint/boxed. With six horses, still in their individual wrap-around card packing, and packing piece. From 'The New European' Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1962-70, this item is part of the much-loved Chipperfields range of models – and in exceptional condition too! The Bedford TK tractor unit with trailer is as nice as you will find; such a vivid glowing red finish, shaped spun wheels*, clean and complete paper labels throughout and a bright blue back (often they appear a lot paler than this!).
Little marks as a result of opening and closing the hinged doors (hard to imagine how this could be avoided) and marking at some wheel arches. Minor tarnishing to the chrome finish of the roof detail. Notably, both of the wing mirrors are present and complete with the little ‘reflective’ pieces. The item comes with the full complement of six grey horses, all still individually wrapped in the original card packing (not often found like this!).
The card plinth is fresh and bright, with both pull-out end tabs firmly in place and tear-free. A little of the expected marking from the model and light grubbiness.
Nice to see that this item still has its large white card packing piece – so often discarded!
The outer box is complete, bright and clean. Crisp feel to the card. Easily overlooked is the discreet repaired tear. Minor age wear besides.
