Volvo P.1800 by Corgi Toys, No.228. Scarce ORANGE-RED SCARLET issue. Very near mint/boxed.
Notes
Issued between 1962-65 in a variety of colour finishes.
This Volvo model has a wonderfully lustrous bright orange-red or scarlet paint finish with a lemon interior and silver detailing at the raised body lines and bumpers (all original). Suspension on shiny shaped spun hubs. A more difficult find (more usually found in a deeper red).
In very close to mint condition – little stray factory silver on the driver’s side front wing. Small mark on a window post.
For comparison only, Please take a look at this deeper red model on the right, when compared with the deeper red example, also available separately at time of writing.
The pictorial box is complete and clean. Light age/handling wear.
