Notes
In storage for decades. This popular Set was made between 1965-68, and comprises:
i) Corgi 245 Buick Riviera in light blue (so 1st issue) with a bright red detailed interior. Suspension on spoked wheels. Intact (early version) tow hook. Pleasing sheen to the original paint finish. Very near mint paint finish. Occasional little chrome rub.
ii) Trailer is in very, very close to mint condition. All original paint finish.
iii) Corgi 104 Dolphin Cabin Cruiser is in fresh, bright and clean condition, with a complete label (without the usual age transparency thankfully). Includes original Captain figure, intact outboard motor and propellor. Hard to imagine better!
This tows the original skier on the original plastic water scene attachment.
Complete and looking like new.
Colourful card stand is clean, crisp and fresh with vivid colours. Shop-fresh.
Both pull-out tabs are present and tear-free. Original sellotape still in situ and original sellotape residue.
The outer box with its wonderfully atmospheric artwork is deeply-coloured and clean.
Light wear.
