Notes
A sought-after Corgi rally model in bright mid-blue finish with a white roof and blue bonnet (standard issue has a white bonnet). Lemon interior. Detailed crossed flags transfer is complete on the bonnet. Shaped spun wheels have suspension, bold racing number 1 on both doors (bold i.e. thicker print), jewelled headlights.

Just one little nick at roof edge – hard to fault otherwise.
