Notes
A sought-after, scarce Belgian export issue made between 1965-66 only. Easily distinguishable with its ingenious “glowing” Trans-O-Lite lighting, this was the first Corgi ‘special’ export model.
In very close to mint condition with spring suspension on shaped spun wheels, and the chef rotates when the knob on the roof is turned. Complete “Patates Frites” label and “Snack Bar” label.
Occasional tiny mark to the paint finish.
The pictorial box is bright and complete. Light wear & penned numbering on an end flap is easily overlooked.
With leaflet:
