Notes
An eye-catching Corgi rally model in bright mid-blue finish with a white roof and bonnet, complete crossed flags on the bonnet.
Shaped spun wheels have suspension, complete racing number 3 on both doors (more unusual ‘slim’ racing numbers – most often bold i.e. thicker print), jewelled headlights. Few tiny marks only to the paint finish.
The box is complete and the colours are bright. A little age/handling wear and the original owner has written his name on the box underside. ‘Swansea’ Corgi Club Membership Form.
In all original condition, this is a delightful Mini issued between 1962-65.
