Notes
Issued between 1961-65, this sought-after model has a deeper blue and white paint finish with a vibrant red interior, opening bonnet (notably complete with the detachable air filter!). Nice sheen to the paint finish. Suspension on shaped spun wheels. Fine, as-new tyres.
Version with 3 rivets on base.
Couple of tiny touch-ins available only to the gimlet-eyed armed with a magnifying glass!
Note the deeper blue finish on this 3 -rivetted example when set alongside the lighter blue version with 1 rivet and 2 flatter painted cast details (for comparison only):
The pictorial box is very crisp, bright and fresh. Shows minimal handling. Corgi Club Membership Form.
