C251
Corgi 251 Hillman Imp. Near mint plus/boxed. Scarce bronze issue. With opening suitcase. From The New European Collection.
Notes
Usually found in blue, this is a fine example of this more unusual metallic bronze version with a white side stripe and cream interior. Suspension is fine on this example – and it comes with luggage.
This model is often found with broken suspension at the rear, since it is by depressing the rear wheels that one is able to fold down the rear seats. Pleased to say that the suspension is fine on this example.
Mark at bonnet front edge and another at the rear. Couple of very small marks besides.
The box is complete, clean and bright. Minor age wear.
