Chipperfield's Circus Models Gift Set (version 1)

This large gift set was issued september 1962 and contained the following items:

Ref# 426 Circus Booking Office

Ref# 1121 Circus Crane Truck

Ref# 1123 Two circus cages on trailers, one with two polar bears and one with two lions

Ref# 406 Land Rover with metal hood

101 & 406 had also previously been released as Gift Set 19 (april 1962).

The 426 booking office was withdrawn in 1964, causing Corgi to replace it with Bedford TK giraffe transporter #503 (see version 2.) The box artwork was never changed to reflect the update. The sales figures stated are for both versions combined until the final withdrawal in 1967.
