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.
Issued between 1965-69.This is the later casting version, so note this example has the horizontal casting line on the front wings, the less pronounced boot ‘bulge;’ larger rear lights, and other little casting differences too.
Occasionally tiny mark.
The pictorial box is complete, clean and bright. Crisp feel. Small edge crease.
