Corgi Gift Set 38

Notes

A scarce and popular Corgi Gift Set_.
The set comprises:

1) Corgi 318 Mini Cooper ‘S’ in bright red finish with a white roof, jewelled head and spotlights, complete racing number ‘52’ on both sides. Complete Monte Carlo labels on bonnet and boot (save for a tiny edge ‘wrinkle’ to the bonnet label, as applied). Shaped spun wheels with suspension. Very near mint.

2) Corgi 322 Rover 2000 in lustrous metallic maroon finish with a white roof, notably complete Monte Carlo labels on bonnet and boot. Complete racing number ‘136’ on both doors, too. Shaped spun wheels with suspension, jewelled headlights and “Trans-O-Lite” lights. Very near mint.

3) Corgi 323 Citroen DS19 in pale blue finish with a white roof. Shaped spun wheels with suspension, jewelled lights, intact aerial on the roof. Complete racing number ‘75’ on both sides, intact rally labels on bonnet and boot. Virtually mint.

The colourfully-illustrated detailed card plinth on which each car sits is intact and bright. A decorative backdrop for the models. Original card packing support piece in the base of the plinth. No wheel slot tears.

Light wear only. Lots of relevant printed information:

This set comes with three original packing pieces i.e. the plain rectangular card piece which fits in the base of the plinth, the white card packing piece which is placed on top of the models and three smaller white packing piece which can surround one of the cars. So the full complement!
Also, there is old paper tissue which wrapped each car.

The pictorial all-card outer box is complete and bright. Light age grubbiness but there is a crisp, fresh feel and no tears! No graffiti either.

.
A desirable and scarce Corgi Gift Set. Surely, one of the best surviving examples.
