Notes
A factory error? Hard to know – what is certain is that this model is extremely rare.
A popular Corgi model in primrose yellow finish with a white roof and bonnet, complete crossed flags on the bonnet and virtually perfect crossed flags on the passenger door. Bold Racing Number 3 on the driver’s door.. Shaped spun wheels have suspension, jewelled headlights.
A sprinkling of marks mostly confined to the base.
The box is complete, if looking rather worn now, with a small area of surface loss on an end flap.
