Notes

This scarce and desirable Gift Set was issued between 1968-69 only and comprises:
1) Corgi 319 Marlin Rambler Sports Fastback in metallic mid-blue, white roof and boot, suspension on detailed cast wheels. Roof rack in place with red and white canoe atop. A scarce colour issue which only ever appeared in this gift set. Very near mint condition with a tiny barely visible scratch on one side (visible under very bright light and close scrutiny!), and one little edge rub to one chrome bumper (and you have to be eagle-eyed to spot this too). Notably intact grey tow bar.

2) Pennyburn Trailer in the same colour finish with cast detailed wheels, red plastic tow bar. Very near mint condition with one dot away from mint (probably as-made).

Bright card pictorial tray is in very fresh condition with one minor edge ruffle and tiny wear besides. Vivid colours on crisp barely handled card. Both pull-out tabs are present and tear-free. Trace of the original sellotape at the ends.
Another red and white canoe is included with figure and paddles.

This set comes complete with the card wrap-around packing piece.

The outer box is complete and quite bright. Minor age grubbiness and a little minor handling wear.

Shopkeeper’s neatly penned price at an end flap. Small area of surface removal at one picture face edge which is difficult to see.
A lovely set, and not an easy find in this condition!
