Notes
Once seen – never forgotten! This is a sensational Corgi model that we are proud to bring to the attention of collectors.
The specialist Corgi collector of many years standing was delighted to acquire this version.
He tells us:
“The Saints Volvo was purchased from the USA. I have seen a couple of others, but not in this close to mint condition. I believe that it is from a small batch of white Saint models, which have been factory over-sprayed in tangerine before assembly and then sent to America (so not colour trials). It is clearly intentional (not a factory error) as the model has the correct Saint base without the model number, and the driver sitting in a yellow interior. Maybe it was a special order?”
Very close to mint condition (a few small marks).
The blue and yellow pictorial box is complete and fresh – so bright and clean, showing minor wear only.
