Notes
Issued between 1965-68, this Citroen model has a crisp white finish, brown dashboard and rear seats, pale green front seats. With skier, red roof-rack, four yellow skis and four poles (with intact original elastic band remarkably still in place). Complete and vivid bonnet transfer. Shaped spun wheels and smooth-running original tyres (minor part-split to one).
Hard to find any mark to the paint finish.
Minor paint bubbling on one side.
Model feature works well; i.e. the rear seats can be laid flat by operating the mechanism on the baseplate. Spring suspension is fine on shaped spun wheels.
The box is complete, clean, and bright. Very light wear only. Period shop price on one end flap.
