Notes
A rare find in this bright grass green shade and of course more usually found on the ‘mechanical’ version.
Indeed the first ‘non-mechanical’ version finished in this shade we have ever offered for sale.
Corgi 200 Ford Consul is the first Corgi toy issued (1956).
This fine, classic Corgi car has flat spun wheels. Lovely example with a day-one gleam. In virtually mint condition.
Faintest flat spot on one tyre. Lightest roof rub.
The early blue picture box is intensely-coloured, clean and complete.The most minor wear. Period date etc. written quite neatly on both picture faces.
