This particular model was sold on ebay by George's Good Stuff in April 2006 for £401.67 in the following condition:
This beautiful rarely offered model is in superb virtually mint perfect condition, showing just some tarnishing to the bumpers, but otherwise immaculate, an absolute beauty, and best of all, the musical chimes in it are working perfectly. Just turn the black handle at the rear to hear the lovely five-note tune being played - wonderful!

It comes in its equally superb complete original box, showing only the lightest age wear, and retaining all the original extras, including the original stickers sheet with the unapplied decals still on the backing paper, the colour inner display card, the original instructions leaflet showing how to apply the extra decals, and even the original card ring to protect the rear handle - very nice indeed!

This is one of Corgi's best and most highly sought-after ice-cream collectibles from the mid 60s, getting very hard to find in this condition, particularly with all the extras included - so don't miss out!
