C1132
Corgi 1132 Bedford TK Carrimore Transporter. Near mint/boxed with packing. With BOTH WING MIRRORS INTACT. A rare find from The Corbridge Collection - spanning over forty years of collecting!
Notes
Issued between 1963-65, this is a scarce find.
In fine, all original condition, with both wing mirrors intact notably. Shining original yellow and red finish with bright metal parts, both spare tyres, and a delightful and complete Corgi dog logo at the rear folding ramp.
Pleasing lustre to the original paint finish.
You will find marking to the paint finish mostly at the drop-down rear ramp section. Little raised casting mark at one side top edge.
The pictorial box is complete and bright, if rather grubby now. These comparatively flimsy boxes holding heavy trucks nearly always suffer substantial wear.
This example has fared better than many we have seen. Little start of a tear at an end flap and the occasional edge ruffle. Couple of light creases. Card plinth has some of the usual wear and tear at some wheel slots as you might expect (two small strips of surface loss). Not often found with the card packing piece.
