Notes
Rare to come to the market place, this model has been part of the property of a Belgian family from new. Here is a note from the owner:
This model is not mine from the very beginning, but was in the family (all the time by the same person). This person received it as original gift from a British friend at the time when the model was produced. He kept it carefully. He died years ago, and this model became mine.
This is an exceptionally scarce Belgian issue – only the second we have ever offered for sale – and the first with the ’TOURING SECOURS" labels on the box!
An early issue Land Rover’ finished in brilliant yellow, with shiny flat spun wheels. Roof sign has complete *’RADIO’ lettering, intact ‘TS’ logo on both sides of the tin tilt (note the tiny stray piece of transfer on both sides). Original aerial. Tinplate base. Front bumper on struts. No interior.*
Sleek tinplate base, shiny flat spun wheels and fine original tyres.
In virtually mint condition – this is an exceptionally scarce model in exceptional condition!
The pictorial box is complete, clean and bright with both original* ‘TOURING SECOURS’ labels on both sides*. Minor wear to the box including a storage scuff. Early ‘Moorgate’ Corgi Club Membership Form is included.
(Probably), the best surviving example – that you will ever see.
