Notes

Issued between 1962-65 in a variety of colour finishes, this salmon pink finish being the most difficult to find. After 1965, this car became the Saint’s Volvo (renumbered Corgi 258).
This example is in all original, close to mint condition with a bright lemon interior and original silver detailing at the raised bodylines and bumpers. Suspension on shiny shaped spun hubs and the supple original tyres look as-new.
Displays well in this distinctive colour finish.
