Corgi 468
Corgi 468 London Transport Routemaster Bus 'HOUSE OF LORDS GIN'. Very, very near mint/boxed. From a long-standing collector in the U.S.
Notes
Only the second we have ever seen! A previously unknown version.
This Corgi Routemaster Bus is in virtually mint condition with a gleaming bright red original paint finish. Nicely detailed bus with all the little details, not present in later issues. Shiny spun wheels.
With BOOTH’S HOUSE OF LORDS GIN’ label complete on both sides.
Barely a mark to the paint finish.
The crisp and complete card picture box continues the theme; strongly-coloured, fresh and clean, showing minimal handling.
Many thanks to two of our customers for letting us know that they have an example of this model. Both have the labels overlaid on OUTSPAN transfers. Both were purchased in the U.S.
