C227
Corgi 227 Morris Mini-Cooper Competition Model. Near mint plus/boxed. Primrose yellow & white version, racing number 3. From a high quality collection in the U.S.
Notes
A popular Corgi model in primrose yellow finish with a white roof and bonnet, detailed crossed flag transfer is notably complete on the bonnet. Shaped spun wheels have suspension, racing number 3 labels on both doors are complete, jewelled headlights.
Note there are none of the usual edge chips to the roof!
Hard to find a mark – although the most minute scrutiny will find a very small amount of subtle retouching. Not visible under normal inspection.
The box is very crisp, vividly-coloured and complete with all end flaps intact. Very small stain on one side. Tiniest wear besides.
Still a delightful Mini in sparkling, close to mint condition issued between 1962-65.
