The first Golden Jacks edition, #273, had one of the shortest lives of any Corgi model in 1970 but its successor, #280 lasted all the way through to 1978 and that was with later competition from the bigger scale Corniche with which this is often confused.
Initially available in the silver and blue of the previous edition, this is also found in all blue and all silver. There are further variations of quarter lights on the blue models where a panel provided the door insert as well as the window section.
This is a splendid example of the more common blue model and a later type with no quarter light fittings on the doors. It appears to have no marks to the paintwork and the all important icon is in place on the chrome radiator.
The interior is clean and the windows are all clean and clear of marks. the doors, boot and bonnet all open and close smoothly and in line and the interior is brown and in good condition. The suspension is sound.
