C440

Notes

Originally purchased by the owner from a collector who enjoyed touring toy shops in the mid 60’s & early ’70’s buying models that appealed to him. If he could find a bargain then he would buy multiple examples of the same item. His collection comprises Dinky, Corgi and several Spot-On models.

A popular Corgi set issued between 1966-69, this Cortina Estate model has a lustrous deep metallic blue finish, and comes complete with the rare ‘Opening Tailgate’ sign and card packing.
This set comprises:

1) Corgi 491 Ford Consul Super Estate Car with “wood” side panels, suspension on bright shaped spun wheels, jewelled headlights, cream interior and opening tailgate. Bright chrome. Fine, well-shaped tyres.
A few little marks at a wheel arch and a dot on the roof.

2) Golfer, caddie and trolley; all original and as-new!

Inner card stand has vibrant colours on extremely crisp barely handled card. Pristine with additional card packing piece which supports the plinth.

The outer box is fresh, bright and complete. Crisp, as-new feel. Light wear/grubbiness.
Unfolded Corgi Club Membership Form is included.
Rarely seen with the Opening Tailgate’ sign and card wrap-around packing piece too.
