C497

Notes

This model has just come from a single-owner childhood collection. It is so hard to find this model complete with all of its original packaging pieces; both roof card pieces and the wrap-around card insert are still present, making this a superb example of this sought-after Corgi model.

The car has a very vivid deep blue finish:

and the bonnet logo is bright and complete, with a little age wear at edges. The model functions perfectly. There are several chips at the front of the car and one on the roof, one small chip at rear edge. A little wheel corrosion on one side. It comes complete with the original ring (usual little rubs at the sides where it fits into the card plinth.
The colourful card plinth is very crisp, fresh and bright, with a little wear at the wheel slots. The outer box too is complete and bright with only minor wear.
A delightful, all original example – a great nostalgic item!
