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. Most would call this model mint! None of the usual chips on the hinged shelf. Spring suspension on shaped spun wheels, and the chef rotates when the knob on the roof is turned. Perfect “Patates Frites” and “Snack Bar” labels.
There are a couple of minor casting marks but hard to downgrade from mint for that.
The box is clean and complete with minor handling wear only. Original owner has written his name in pen on one non-picture side.
Displays superbly!
