C227
Corgi 227 Morris Mini-Cooper Competition Model. Near mint plus/boxed. Bold racing numbers version. From a private collection in the U.S.
Notes
A sought-after Corgi rally model in bright light blue finish with a white roof and bonnet, crossed flags on the bonnet. Shaped spun wheels have suspension, racing number 3 on both doors (bold i.e. thicker print), jewelled headlights. As-new fine tread tyres. The detailed crossed flags on the bonnet are notably complete.
None of the usual little ‘nibbles’ at roof edge which could spoil the appearance of this racing Mini:
Few little marks above the front headlights and a mark at the rear. Tiny dot at one door racing number. Appealing lustre makes this a great display piece.
The box is complete and bright, if rather rubbed now at edges. Crease. Handling wear at end flaps.
