C421
Corgi 421 Bedford 12CWT Van "Evening Standard". Near mint/boxed. Black issue with a silver roof. Scarce. From the 1200 model Italian collection.
Notes
A delightful Corgi model in complete and original condition, issued between 1960-63. This van has a black body, with a silver ridged roof, smooth hubs. “Evening Standard” labels are complete on both sides. Bright baseplate. Minor rubbing/age wear to one.
It is harder to find in our experience than the half-black, half-silver version.
Few little marks on the roof (mostly little dots). Couple of tiny marks besides, including a rub or two at the front bumper.
The card pictorial box is complete and feels quite crisp. Rather ‘scrubbed’ in appearance. Minor handling wear. No tears. Number has been written on one non-picture surface.
