CGS41

Notes

An extremely scarce Gift Set and the first we have ever offered for sale! This particular version was only available by mail order and is the second issue made during 1969 only.
It comprises:
1) Scammell Carrimore Mark IV Transporter, in red and white. Intact and all original with mostly light chipping. Jewelled headlights. Detachable cab (white top half of the cab is loose now, although it sits well in place for display purposes). Very good plus condition.

2) Morris Mini Minor * in metallic maroon, yellow interior. Cast wheels with suspension. Two or three little marks at a raised bodyline and a faint mark on the roof.
3) *Morris Mini Cooper in black with a red roof and yellow ‘wickerwork’ side panels. Jewelled lights. Spun wheels with suspension. Excellent plus state with a couple of small marks on the roof and a few small light scratches at a front wing. Very minor wear only to the side panels.
4) Saint’s Volvo in white (earliest version).
Correct version would have the later orange bonnet label. This example is in near mint plus condition with a few small marks and a very light rub on the roof. Small edge nick to the bonnet transfer. Suspension on spun wheels. Jewelled lights.
5) Sunbeam Imp in metallic blue. 1967 Monte Carlo Rally with racing number ‘77’. In excellent condition (although no rear suspension now). Few little chips. Jewelled lights.
6) MGC GT in yellow and black. Racing number ‘4’. Near mint condition. Few tiny marks. Complete racing labels. Jewelled headlights. Suspension on detailed cast wheels.
7) BMC Mini Cooper ‘S’ in red with chrome roof rack. Excellent plus condition. Racing number ‘177’ (age transparency now). Chrome roof rack is tarnish-free with no rubbing. Small barely visible crack in the chrome roof rack. Jewelled lights. Few little marks. Nick to the rear number plate and rear Monte Carlo transfer.

Colourful lift-off lid box is complete and brightly-coloured although showing wear now.

Tape tears at the sides and rubbing at edges. Remains of old sticky tape. Price of £3 has been written at one lid end. Polystyrene base has grubbiness and some indentations and wear.
Still a very difficult set to find in any condition and is usually missing from even the largest Corgi collections!
