The Corgi Volkswagen Breakdown Truck 490

This particular model was sold on ebay by George's Good Stuff in February 2006 for £215 in the following condition:
This beautiful and rarely offered model is just a couple of very tiny marks short of perfect, it's an absolute beauty with the often missing two spare tyres, and comes in its superb original blue and yellow card box, crisp, clean, bright and 100 per cent complete - very nice indeed!
One of Corgi's many great models from their golden 1960s period, this is very rarely found in this great condition, and a superb addition to any collection!
