Notes

An impressively detailed truck from Corgi.
With a bright red and white paint finish and complete ‘Holmes Wrecker’ transfers on both sides. Gold booms. Intact wing mirrors, each with the reflective stickers in place. Intact and straight pale gold-coloured double horns on the roof. Complete translucent red hazard ‘light’. Both spare tyres are still in place. Chevron paper label at the rear of the model has a little lower edge rubbing (most likely due to contact with the inner).
Barely a mark to the paint finish.
