Corgi 153
Corgi 153 Proteus Campbell Bluebird Record Car. Near mint plus/boxed. Complete U.K. Crossed Flags & black plastic wheels. From The Berlin Collection.
Notes
Perhaps contrary to expectations, this is the first issue version with black plastic wheels. Later, metal wheels would be used.
This black plastic-wheeled version is in fine, all original condition with complete crossed Union Jack flags on the nose.
In original condition throughout with a pleasing lustre. Three little marks to the paint and a small casting mark on one side. There is a little minor ’nibbling’’ to the background section of the transfer.
The long slim box is bright and complete. Minor age/handling wear.
