Notes
An impressively detailed truck from Corgi.
With a bright red and white paint finish and complete ‘Holmes Wrecker’ transfers on both sides. Intact wing mirrors with both reflective stickers still in place. Intact and straight shiny gold double horns on the roof. Complete red hazard ‘light’. Both spare tyres are still in place. Chevron paper label at the rear of the model looks fresh and bright. This gold boom version displays very well!
Note the factory paint miss at one side of the matt black roof. Couple of (probable) factory assembly marks beside.s This model has rarely been out of its box and has no play chips/marks.
Polystyrene inner is clean, bright and fresh with a vibrantly-coloured original Corgi Cog label (little tear).
This example comes complete with the original Instruction leaflet and both mechanics.
The blue and yellow card and cellophane-fronted box has such day-one bright and crisp card! Notably intact smooth original cellophane window too.
Little handling wear including a ruffle at an end flap seam.
Issued between 1967-74.
