C1138
Corgi 1138 Ford Articulated Transporter "CORGI CARS". Very near mint/boxed, with packing. From the 1200 model Italian collection.
Notes
A fresh and shining example of this popular Corgi model made between 1966-69. So difficult to find absoloutely pristine – surely this is as close as one can reasonably expect to get.
Complete with both wing mirrors (including the reflective pieces), ladders at the side of the cab and roof horns. Bright silver side panels with Corgi dog logo on both sides. Yellow and black labels at rear are fresh and bright.
Looks like unsold old shop stock! Couple of minor marks only.
The *card stand on which the transporter sits, is complete and very bright with tiny wear to one wheel slot only. Tiniest strip of surface removal on the reverse. Plenty of information on the box reverse.
Notably, this item comes complete with the card inner packing piece.
The pictorial end flap box is complete and has vivid colours. Some handling wear (ruffling, start of a couple of tears at end flap seams) and a little grubbiness. Small area of surface removal.
Original Instructions are included too:
Corgi Club Membership Form is incorporated on the reverse of the instructions.
What a display item this would make – especially alongside a delivery of Corgi cars!
