Corgi Gift Set 35 London Passenger Transport Set

Notes

Such a desirable 3-piece Gift Set made between 1964-68 comprising:

1) 418 Taxi in black with fluorescent orange original details, lemon interior and driver. Shaped spun wheels. Virtually mint.

2) 468 London Routemaster Bus *’Naturally Corgi Toys’. Jewelled headlights. Shaped spun wheels. Vivid red finish with complete transfers on both sides, front and rear. Complete London Transport lettering on both sides. Couple of tiny marks to the roof and very light roof ‘rib’ rubbing if you scrutinise closely.

Policeman figure (directing the traffic) on a white circular plinth.

Delightful card plinth on which all items sit with an unmistakable London scene depicted. Crease and light wear. Both pull tags in place and firmly attached (one has a crease). Reverse:

Outer card box has another colourfully illustrated London scene in which both models and policeman are depicted. Deeply-coloured which is a refreshing change. Crisp and rarely handled – one of the best we have seen.
