Notes
This popular Austin Mini Van was issued between 1964-69. Obviously, this item has barely been out of its box – note that the aerial has become a little mis-shapen now due to long storage in its box (although it may be teased straight with application of gentle heat). The van has a wonderful original lustre, jewelled headlights and suspension on shaped spun wheels. Complete POLICE labels on both sides. It comes with both original figures, complete with original lead!
One little mark at a rear opening door and a couple of minor marks on the bonnet.
The detailed and colourful inner card stand is in virtually pristine condition with no tears at the wheel slots or where the figures are slotted. Slight storage bend to the header card.
The outer box is so crisp, bright and fresh with lots of spring in the end flaps. Exceptional! Comes complete with an unfolded Corgi Club Membership Form and the little card packing piece too.
Always nice to find this complete and authentic!
A beautiful example on display.
