Notes
One of the most prized Corgi models, we are delighted to offer this example in superb, close to mint condition.
Correctly finished in orange-red with suspension on detailed cast wheels. The highly decorative transfers are complete/nearly complete throughout (couple of very small portions on the bonnet have flaked off). Complete roof transfer and door transfers including the ‘MOSTEST’ lettering. Really difficult to find intact. Note too that this model has the correct horizontal body line on the front wing and patent number (not patent applied) on the base. These details ensure that this model is a Mini Mostest and not a later decorated red Mini Corgi 226.
Not a trace of sunfading on this most decorated Corgi car! Indeed, it has obviously had occasional and careful handling only, since the delicate transfers are so easy to damage. The transfers are vibrant!
As far as the paint finish is concerned, this model is very close to mint with just a few little minor marks toward the front edge of the bonnet and a tiny mark at the rear.
The correct colourfully illustrated card box is very bright and fresh! Crisp feel.
No tears, graffiti or grubbiness. Plenty of end flap spring, Minor creasing at one end (from storage).
One of the most highly-prized Corgi items in close to mint/boxed, original condition!
