Corgi 349

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 notably complete throughout (save for a little central nick to the bonnet transfer). 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 on both sides, including the ‘MOSTEST’ lettering, and the large roof transfer, are intact and so vibrant!
As far as the paint finish is concerned, this model is very close to mint with a few tiny dots only.
The correct colourfully illustrated card box is complete and bright , with a crisp feel. Minor handling wear only (small faint grubby mark and a light crease)). No tears or graffiti.
One of the most highly-prized Corgi items, and one of the best surviving examples you will find.
