Notes
This is a rare non-mechanical version of the Bedford ‘FIRE DEPT’ Van finished in vibrant red with perfect lettering and logo on both sides, black ladders, flat spun wheels, and a DIVIDED windscreen. Rare model in all original condition with a superb glossy vibrant lustre. Perfect lettering and logo on both sides. Bright base and shiny flat spun wheels. As-new original finely treaded tyres.
Note the non-mechanical baseplate (without the bulge!).
Minor rubbing at front wheel arches (from box contact) and a mark or two besides.
The early blue pictorial box is so crisp, clean and bright! Such strong colours! Really difficult to find these early boxes so nice. Handling crease at an end flap and light wear.
Later this non-motorised model would be available as Corgi 423 with a one-piece windscreen and (mostly) with shaped spun wheels.
Few of these non-mechanical versions were made. An outstanding super scarce early commercial Corgi model!
