This is the 258 edition first issued in 1965 with a black outline 'Saint' emblem. Later in its production it had a blue paper label and then a red paper label as in this case. The red label edition is often found with cast wheels but this has the usual shaped wheels so it is quite a scarce variation and not many to be found.

The paintwork is very good with just wear on the raised edges such as the rear fins and side 'chrome' strip and a small chip on the roof.  The screens are all clean and clear and the red paper label is original. It is a little worn in places but the Saint figure is clear.

The wheels are good with original tyres ad the base is very clean.

There is a range of other models available at my own website - just enter corgi.toys in your browser - where full details, more photos and discounted prices can be found. These include the 2021 Corgi Model Club re-issue of the standard 258 model with a cream background to teh logo which has been discontinued, a 2023 release having a clear background and acknowledgement text on the base too. The first model is likely to become scarce in time. It comes as new with original box and packaging and a certificate. A photo is included with this listing.

My price includes postage and packing within the UK, items usually being despatched within 48 hours of receipt of funds. I am happy to send items abroad but buyers from overseas should make an additional payment. Buyers are liable for  import taxes in their own country where appropriate.

These are photos of the actual model you are buying. Remember that these toys are around 50 years old! All models advertised are original, not restored or repainted unless I have stated otherwise.
