Instruction Leaflet:
Large sturdy outer box is an excellent, brightly -coloured example.
Very minor edge nibble to the paper label. Some grubbiness and a very small surface scratch at the box base side. Modern price label. Period price in pencil on the lid. Light surface rubbing in places.
Finally, we would like again to stress the rarity of this set which is complete, unused and authentic throughout.
A notable addition to any Corgi collection. A very difficult find indeed.
