Notes
Surely one of the most attractive of the early Corgi commercials, this ‘Corgi Toys’ Bedford Van has a vibrant mid-blue finish with a bright yellow roof. Perfect Corgi transfers with the unmistakable dog logo on both sides. Flat spun wheels and a bright baseplate. Original fine tread tyres are supple and as-new.
Issued between 1960-62, in various blue and yellow combinations, this is one of the most difficult to find (and our personal favourite).
This Bedford Van has a day-one lustre to the paint finish and has picked up just a few little marks in the past fifty or so years. They barely detract.
The picture box is complete, clean and bright. Minor handling wear/grubbiness only.
