1) Corgi 351 R.A.F. Land Rover. Tin canopy and flat spun wheels, including spare. Tow hook. Very close to mint with a pleasing fresh lustre. Complete with roundel. Just a few little marks away from mint.
2) Corgi 1115 Bristol Ferranti Bloodhound. In close to mint condition with a couple of chips to the off-white matte finish.. Complete with the notably original nose cone (so often replaced since they perish over time). Scattered exposed edge marking to the white paint finish.
3) Corgi 1116 Launching Ramp has several small marks. Bright metal parts throughout. Near mint plus. Paint chip low down on oen side and a few tiny marks besides.
4) Corgi 1117 Bloodhound Loading Trolley. Working well. Very close to mint condition with bright metal parts.
The colourful outer box is complete, showing a little of the usual age/handling wear.
Edge scuffs, but no graffiti. Small seam tear to one corner and a little clear tpae has been applied to another in order to strengthen. Small storage puncture to the box base underside.
Shaped card packing insert.
