This model is from my own collection, is new having never been on display and the box only opened to photograph.

Corgi issued this model in 2 forms, with and without Chinese Plates in July 1998.

Two of the Coaches were used for express services between Hong Kong and mainland China.  

This model represents Coach 1275 as fitted with Chinese Plates, the total edition was 7500, 3000 issued in Hong Kong 

for this (a) version and 4500 issued in the UK for the standard (b) version. All original packaging is in place.  

The model and box are in mint condition and the sleeve is very good with slight creasing on the front at the bottom, see photo.
