Notes
Note this most unusual example; this Smiths Karrier Bantam Mobile Shop with pertinent labels has the colour finish and window details of the butcher’s shop – made at the same time!
The owner tells us:
“This is a genuine variation. Probably just for one production run when the light green body shells ran out”.
A popular Corgi item with a light blue and white paint finish and flat spun wheels. Delightful detailed shop window view at both sides and, of course through the rear window, one can see the butcher awaiting his customers! This Mobile Butchers shop model has been factory-fitted with the paper labels from the mobile grocery shop. Both are Karrier Bantam models made at the same time. An interesting talking point in your collection!
These labels above the cab roof and sides are complete, (minor wear to a couple).
Tiny mark or two to the paint finish.
The powder blue picture box is complete and bright, showing light wear.
For information only, this is the usual Mobile Shop version:
