Corgi Gift Set 48

Notes

Issued by Corgi during late 1968 – early 1969, this is a most sought-after Gift Set, especially with the rare MGC in orange.
In detail, this set comprises:
1) Corgi 1148 Scammell Car Transporter in complete and original near mint condition. A few chips on the roof due to contact with the upper ramp.

2) Corgi 345 MGC GT. A difficult find in bright orange (with correct suitcase). Spoked wheels. Virtually mint.

3) Corgi 328 Sunbeam Imp. Very near mint with intact suspension.

4) Corgi 258 The Saint’s Volvo. Orange-red bonnet label and cast wheels. Very close to mint.

5) Corgi 249 ‘Wickerwork’ Mini. Very near mint. A little wear to the labels but no parts missing.

6) Corgi 339 Monte Carlo Mini with roof rack. Cast wheels. Very near mint. Light wear to labels.

7) Corgi 226 Morris Mini Minor, in maroon, with cast wheels. Very near mint.

All contents are housed in a complete and bright polystyrene inner. Light wear only.

This set comes with the Instruction Leaflet for the 1967 Monte Carlo Sunbeam Imp which incorporates a Corgi Club Membership Form & still-sealed packet of traffic cones. Additional Corgi Club Membership Form too.

The colourfully illustrated outer box is vibrant, clean and complete. The original cellophane window is intact. Note the ‘New Specification’ Label (complete) which marks the move from the Ford Transporter issue to this new Scammell version.
The card has light wear including a few small light scuffs and corner ruffles. Small carefully repaired tear.
