Corgi #490 - VW Breakdown Truck in original complete early 1st issue carded box, I've checked the model over (but not with a magnifying glass) and have listed it as near mint due to some minor paint loss on some raised edges plus the odd tiny chip here and there but just in case I've missed something else please view all the images using the zoom in option as this will give you a better idea of the actual condition of the model as this will be the exact item you will receive if you're the winning bidder, apart from the minor paint loss the model has lovely gloss beige paintwork with clear windows and red interior, early split screen windshield, working winch with tow hook although this can be a bit stiff, hinged plastic tool box with plated tools, both spare tyres in situ, concave hubs with rubber tyres are near mint, grey painted Corgi Toys Made In Gt Britain metal base.

The original early 1st issue carded box is in excellent complete condition with only very minor age related/shelf wear on some edges and corners plus the odd light crease here and there but please view all the images using the zoom in option as this will give you a better idea of the actual condition of the box as this will be the exact item you will receive if you're the winning bidder, there're no pen marks or repairs but it does have some dirty / grubby marks in places, overall it's still rigid with nice colours, this 1st issue model with the concave hubs was produced for one year only between 1967/68 and in my opinion despite the minor paint loss it's still a very nice example of 1960's Corgi Toys as is the original box.

I have taken as many pictures as possible to show every angle of the model and box so anyone bidding can see what you are bidding on as it will be exactly what you are getting.
