Notes
A popular Corgi model of this much-loved little car with a smart red and black finish and complete, distinctive ‘wickerwork’ panelling at both sides and at the rear. Sparkling jewelled headlights and suspension on detailed cast wheels. Fine original tyres. Quite delightful!
A pleasing lustre, so presents really well.
Issued between 1965-69. Early casting version, so note this example does not have the horizontal casting line on the front wings. It has the more pronounced boot ‘bulge;’ smaller rear lights, and other little casting differences too.
Not even a trace of a roof rub and no loss to colour vibrancy throughout either. Minute rubbing to the front number plate area.
The pictorial box is complete, clean and bright. Minor handling wear.
