C251
Corgi 251 Hillman Imp. Near mint/boxed. Metallic DEEP BLUE version with intact suspension. With tan opening suitcase. From 'The New European' Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1963-66, this model has a bright deep metallic blue finish, yellow interior, shaped spun wheels. So often these models are found with broken suspension at the rear, since it is by depressing the rear wheels that one is able to fold down the rear seats. Please note that unusually the suspension is absolutely fine on this example. Shiny spun wheels and as-new original tyres.
The occasional little mark to the paint, mostly at the sides.
The box is complete, although having moderate wear, including a little end flap puncture.
