This particular model was sold on ebay by George's Good Stuff in August 2006 for £1,293 in the following condition:
This beautiful set is among the rarest of all the great Corgi Gift Sets from the 1960s, and is sure to be a prized asset for the winner that will only increase in value, considering how extremely difficult it is to find one in any condition these days.
Inside are the three great Corgi rally car models - they are definitely the best examples I've seen to date of any of this rare trio of models.
They all display beautifully on the inner picture tray, and is overall in virtually mint condition, showing hardly any age wear at all, with no tears, creases or damage of any kind whatsoever.
The whole set comes in its complete original outer box, which is showing a little overall light age wear, with one clean inner reattachment of one inner tuck-in, but is overall strong, crisp, clean and 100 per cent complete and intact, showing no graffiti, creasing or labels of any kind whatsoever - very nice indeed!
