C485
Corgi 485 Austin Mini Countryman 'Surfing'. Mint (one dot)/boxed. With figure and surf boards. Superb example from the Cheshire collection!
Notes
Issued between 1965-69, this Mini has a sea-green finish, ‘wood panelling’, yellow interior, jewelled headlights, aerial, bright chrome roof-rack with two surf boards, and surfing figure.
Suspension on shaped spun wheels.
In sparkling mint condition (save for a mere dot at a rear door handle).
Chrome on the roof rack is fine, aerial is straight.
The colourful pictorial box is so crisp, fresh and bright, too! The resistant end flaps feel as if they have rarely been opened. Tiny seam tear and a shopkeeper’s pencilled price at an end flap.
Old shop stock quality.
