Notes
This scarce original Gift Set is one of the best examples we have seen in a long while and comprises:
A black and white Renault in very close to mint, unused condition with notably complete detailed transfers and ‘Paramount’ roof sign labels. Car is complete with spare wheel in the bonnet, driver, camera man and camera.
Bright silver base and as-new original tyres with "Corgi Toys’ embossed.
Mere dot or two to the paint finish.
Slightly later version with a plain orange card backdrop inside the box. Complete, fresh and bright. This set includes the race leader on his bicycle in his yellow jersey.
Polystyrene plinth is complete and looking clean and fresh.
The header card window box is colourful and complete with original cellophane (tiniest puncture). No crease at header card reverse where it joins the main body of the box either. Minor wear only.
Nice to see that this example comes complete with the multi-lingual Informative Leaflet /Corgi Club Membership Form as well as the original Retailer Card.
