Notes

The most difficult to find of the three Citroen Winter Sports vehicles made by Corgi.
This white and blue Citroen is in all original condition with a beautifully detailed “Grenoble” transfer on the bonnet. All delicate roof parts are complete and intact. Remains of the original elastic band may be seen. Ski-ing and figure on sled are still present.
