Corgi Toys 1142 Holmes Wrecker Vehicle

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.

Corgi period accessory number-plates applied along with a tax disc.
Polystyrene inner is complete, bright and fresh with a vibrantly-coloured original Corgi Cog label.
This example comes with the Instruction leaflet and both mechanics.

The blue and yellow card and cellophane-fronted box is the earlier version of the window box with a half-yellow and half-blue top section. Intact original cellophane and bright colours. Minor pen scribblew.

Issued between 1967-74.
