This is a classic Corgi model, the revised issue where they extended the old originals from 1961 in 1965 by slicing them in half and inserting a nice chrome element which provided a nice front and rear for the models as well as a wide strip down each side.

This second edition was not produced for very long though and good examples are hard to find now.

There was only one colour combination - this two-tone coffee and cream - and it is a very iconic and readily identifiable Corgi model.

This example is super, the best of three currently in stock. It has no signs of playwear with only the tiniest of marks on the edges of the fins, the chrome has survived very well and the windows are clear and undamaged. The wheels are good and the suspension sound, with a very clean base. A beautiful example.

I now have added a very nice original box to this item. It is very clean and complete and has just small tears at some places where flaps fold but these are not very obvious. Photos have now been added.
