This particular model was sold on ebay by George's Good Stuff in January 2007 for £56 in the following condition:
This beautiful and hard to find early Corgi model is in absolutely stunning mint perfect condition, not a mark on it, a real beauty, and comes in its rare original early box with slideout display tray which is in superb virtually perfect condition, clean, bright, crisp and strong, and including the original leaflet - very nice indeed!
A very nice example of a small but highly collectable original Corgi range, and a great addition to any collection!
