Grubbiness/marking caused by the models. Nice ‘Corgi Toys’ label.
This set comes with the Instruction Leaflet for the Corgi Car Transporter and original sealed packet of traffic cones.

The colourfully illustrated outer box has an intact original cellophane window. A little of the expected wear to the card now, including ruffling and creasing and a couple of tiny tears.
