Notes
One of the most prized Corgi models, we are pleased 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 virtually mint – mint. 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 crisp and vibrant!
As far as the paint finish is concerned, this model has a few little dots above the headlights (possibly factory assembly).
The correct colourfully illustrated card box is bright and clean. Crisp feel.
No tears or grubbiness. Plenty of end flap spring. Period price on one box face.
Corgi Club Membership Form is included.
One of the most highly-prized Corgi items in close to mint/boxed, original condition!
