C1131
Corgi 1131 Carrimore Detachable Axle Machinery Carrier. Scarce early issue with LIGHT BLUE CAB & yellow detachable rear axle unit. Very near mint/boxed (wear). From 'The New European' Collection.
Notes
A pleasing example of the early issue example made between 1963-66. Note the light blue cab (distinctly different fro the standard deeper blue issue).
Just a few of the usual marks at the detachable rear axle (usual later version has a black detachable rear axle). Occasioanl minor mark besides. Nice to see that this example comes complete with both of the delicate wing mirrors intact and complete with the little ‘mirrors’ still present too.
The inner card stand is brightly-coloured, although lacks one of the little pull tabs at one end. Minor marking caused by the model, and two wheel slots have a little tear caused by movement of the model in the box.
The card picture box is complete and the colours are strong. Note the tape residue in places (at an end flap, one box seam, and a little at one non-picture side).
Handling wear besides.
