Corgi 229
Corgi 229 Chevrolet Corvair. Near mint plus/boxed. Light blue issue, a harder find with a RED INTERIOR. Flat spun wheels. From The DC Collection.
Notes
The classic 60’s car has a distinctive,light blue paint finish with a bright red, vacuum-formed interior and white blind at the rear window. Boot opens to reveal a detailed engine. Flat spun wheels with suspension. Fine tread original tyres are well-shaped.
Barely a mark to the paint finish. Lightest roof rub. Minor glue residue on the wheels (due to Corgi wheel trims added at some time). Would benefit from further careful cleaning.
The pictorial card box is really clean, bright and complete. Only the most minor wear.
