C485
Corgi 485 Austin Mini Countryman 'Surfing'. Very near mint/boxed. With figure, surf boards & Model Specific Leaflet. Lovely box! From The Lancashire Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1965-69, this fine Mini has a fresh, original sea-green finish, ‘wood panelling’, yellow interior, jewelled headlights, chrome roof-rack with two surfing boards, and surfing figure. Suspension on shaped spun wheels. Complete with intact aerial.
Looks as if it has rarely been out of its box.
Just a couple of very small marks at the rear doors and a little rub on the chrome.
The colourful pictorial box has day-one bright colours on crisp, clean, undamaged card. Shopkeeper’s period penned price at an end flap. Included is the often missing model specific leaflet.
