Notes
The most difficult to find of the three Citroen Winter Sports vehicles made by Corgi – and in this condition, almost a once in a lifetime opportunity! Certainly, the best example we have seen. Does not appear to have ever been out of its virtually pristine box.
This white and blue Citroen is in all original condition with a beautifully detailed perfect “Grenoble” transfer on the bonnet. All delicate roof parts are complete and intact. Ski-ing and figure on sled are still present.
Shaped spun wheels. Model is still affixed to the inner with the elastic bands. Accessories on roof are still part-banded (over the years the band has snapped) The opening tailgate reveals where the skier and tobogganist can be stowed away safely in the back of the car (the rear seats may be folded down).
The colourful cellophane-fronted header card box looks like a shop-fresh example.
Tiniest nick in the cellophane.
We have carefully opened one of the crisp end flaps and can see that the model specific leaflet is still safely tucked in at one end.
