Notes
One of the most eagerly sought-after Corgi models, especially with fully working chimes.
In very close to mint condition, this Ford Thames Van has a shining blue and cream finish with striped awning and decorative trimmings, sliding windows and notably when you turn the handle the chimes play the complete tune! Complete ’Wall’s’ transfers on both sides. Windows are notably clean and ‘unfogged’ thankfully. Couple of very minor marks to the paint finish and a mere dot or two on the front bumper.
Nice to see that this example comes with the clean and very bright colourful card stand as well as the wrap-around card packing piece. Full set of decorative labels on a backing sheet. Instruction Leaflet/Corgi Club Membership Form* and packing ring is included too.
The hard to find blue and yellow card box with factory-stamped ends is clean and bright with a crisp feel. Small edge scuff and a light creaseResidue from an old price label on an end flap.
A truly nostalgic piece!
