C224
Corgi 224 Bentley Continental Sports Saloon in METALLIC GREEN. Blank base. Red interior. Flat spun wheels. Purchased by the owner from QDT in 2006.
Notes
Sold through QDT in 2006 as part of the property of a dedicated Corgi collector (and later a friend of Marcel Van Cleemput, chief designer for Corgi). He purchased several models from Marcel Van Cleemput and this was one of them.
Never issued in this distinctive metallic green shade, with a red interior, chrome trim ( lacks the bonnet emblem) and directional front steering. Flat spun wheels. Note the blank base and also the assembly of the steering mechanism is slightly different when compared with the standard issue model.
Chipping mostly confined to the sides of the model. Some marking on the rivetted base too.
