C468
Corgi 468 London Transport Routemaster Bus "Naturally Corgi Toys". Near mint/boxed. From the 1200 model Italian collection.
Notes
Issued between 1964-66, this is an early, scarce Routemaster Bus with all the nice details not present in the later issues. Complete decorative ‘Corgi Classics’ and ‘Naturally Corgi Toys’ transfers. Intact labels front and rear. Bright shaped spun wheels with suspension. Conductor and driver. Ribbed roof (few little rubs), jewelled headlights.
Occasional little mark at an exposed edge/raised detail.
The pictorial card box is brightly-coloured with a crisp feel to the card, complete with all end flaps. However, there is what looks like newsprint staining on this box, as if it has been wrapped in newspaper for a long time. Minor wear besides.
