Notes
Issued during 1980, this two-piece set contains Corgi 319 Jaguar XJS in a smart red and white finish, with bright Corgi and Carlsberg labels on the bonnet and opening doors.
An obviously unused example – the Trailer is in matching white with a red boat. In fine condition, unmarked and complete with colourful paper labels, bright chrome and an intact propellor.
The large window box has intact original cellophane and all end flaps firmly shut with no signs of having been opened.
A very nice set indeed (tiny edge ruffle to the card near the cellophane on one side). Occasional tiniest wheel slot tears visible when we peer through the cellophane.
This model was available mail order at the time and unusually comes complete with the outer cardboard mail order box with label.
It may be necessary carefully open the box in order to secure the contents for posting.
