Notes
Later than the Fernel Corgi Rallye Monte Carlo Set. This complete and unused set comprises 2 x Corgi 226 Morris Mini Minor in deep metallic maroon. Adapted for this game, so each model has the requisite hole in the base and game-specific labels (one has Monte Carlo Rally labels, the other has ‘Tulpen Rally’, Holland labels). The labels are complete on both cars, although note that the paint has chipping and there are scratches to the rear windscreen on the Tulpen Rally model. Both have detailed cast wheels and well-shaped original tyres.
All components for the game are in place on the intact red card plastic insert.
Instruction Leaflet is present too:
The outer box is very fresh indeed with vibrant colours on intact card. Very minor wear only. Remains of old tape which kept the lid closed at one short side panel.
A most unusual set – and the only example we have ever offered for sale. Originally sold at QDT as part of The Monty Calme Collection.
