Notes

Issued between 1961-64, this is a rare and sought-after Gift Set!

The few examples that come to the market place nearly always have models with a poor, heavily pitted paint finish. The comparatively fragile boxes are particularly susceptible to wear.
This gold-plated set comprises:

Corgi gift set 20 golden guinea ee194 cars

Corgi gift set 20 golden guinea ee194 cars 1

Corgi gift set 20 golden guinea ee194 base

1) 224 Bentley Continental, with lightest surface pitting to the finish. Minor marking. Intact bonnet emblem, red interior, spun wheels. Jewelled front and rear lights. Original, as-new grey tyres.

2) 229 Chevrolet Corvair, with very light pitting to the finish, red interior. Smooth-running original tyres.

3) 234 Ford Consul has a gold-plated base. Lightest pitting to the surface of the model. Bonnet is reluctant to open – and we do mot want to force it.

All three cars sit within a two-tier card tray which is bright and complete, with barely any wear at all.
