Corgi 256
Corgi 256 Volkswagen 1200 in East African Safari Trim with Rhino. Very near mint/boxed. Left-hand drive. With packing, leaflet & circular card ring. From The Inverness Collection.
Notes
A very popular Corgi model – this example is in all original, very close to mint condition, with a fine and gleaming scarlet paint finish. The left-hand drive version has a notably complete detailed bonnet label (tiny wear), complete door numbers and “Nairobi” label. Chrome bumpers, wheels, baseplate, and sparkling jewelled headlights.
Small thin scratch on one side of the opening bonnet and a couple of tiny marks besides.
It comes complete with rhino, as well as the white card wrap-around packing piece and the yellow card packing piece that fits over the wheel on the roof (never put in place at time of assembly).
The colourful card plinth on which car and rhino sit is a most attractive display piece. Crisp, as-new feel to the vibrant, fresh card. Little wear and a small tear to one of the slots for the rhino. All push-out tabs for the wheels are still remarkably in place.
Vividly-coloured backdrop for this model. Both end pull tabs are present and are in firm position, tight to the card plinth.
Box reverse has lots of information about the “Beetle”.
The outer box is bright, and complete, with eye-catching graphics. Crisp, clean and brightly-coloured. Period pencilled price on a lid end. A little creasing on box reverse.
Model specific Leaflet and card packing included.
