C421
Corgi 421 Bedford 12CWT Van "Evening Standard". Very near mint/boxed. Black issue with a silver roof. Scarce. From The Berlin Collection.
Notes
A delightful Corgi model in very close to mint condition, issued between 1960-63. This van has a black body, with a silver ridged roof, smooth hubs. Labels are strongly-coloured and complete on both sides.
Not an easy find in this condition:
Couple of stray dots of factory silver above the driver’s side window. Tiny marking on the ribbed section of the roof ( really very minor).
Shiny base and well-shaped original finely treaded tyres.
Pleasing glossy finish to the paint.
The card pictorial box is complete and bright, with quite a crisp feel. Light age/handling wear. Pencilled ‘33’ on the top surface. Tiny fleck of surface loss.
