Notes
Issued between 1966-69, this Ford articulated truck is a delight! In very close to mint condition, this truck just gleams! Complete with both wing mirrors intact (including the little reflective ‘mirror’ pieces), straight gold-coloured horns on the cab roof, and perfect “EXPRESS SERVICE” detailing on both sides of the bright silver, untarnished sliding doors. So eye-catching and it comes complete with the original mechanic figure, too.
This cast wheel variation is more often found in the later card and cellophane box.
A few little marks to the paint finish.
The bright pictorial card plinth on which the model sits is complete and strongly-coloured. A few little wheel slot tears due to the weight of the vehicle.
The pictorial end flap box is complete and bright. Little corner ruffle and light wear.
So unusual to find with both card packing pieces. Unfolded Corgi Club Membership Form.
