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 fresh-looking Ford Cortina model finished in white with detailed bright red interior, spun wheels with suspension. Bonnet opens by means of a red button on the base. Opening boot and doors. Complete numberplates front and rear.
Little marks at door base where metal slides against metal (when doors are opened and closed). Tiny surface marking on the roof ( may be possible to remove).
The card picture box is complete. A little shelf grubbiness and light wear.
