Corgi 1143
Corgi 1143 American La France Aerial Rescue Truck. Scarce with RED WHEELS. Very, very near mint/boxed (early window box). From The QDT Vault
Notes
A detailed and impressive fire engine from Corgi’s Major Pack range. This articulated fire truck is complete with all six firemen and all sections of the telescopic ladder, jewelled headlights, aerial and perfect “American La France” lettering and crest transfers. Certainly, this model has never been played with. Complete with all delicate parts intact including the wing mirrors! Detailed cast wheels in red. Rotating turntable and detachable tractor unit. Silver base. Aerial has intact chrome.
Very close to mint condition. Hard to find the merest mark.
The early light blue and yellow large cellophane-fronted window box has a small tear to the original cellophane. Card is complete and brightly-coloured. Couple of very small end flap handling tears. Wonderfully vibrant detailed scene on the box is intact and bright. A little marking caused by model contact.
