Notes
A sought-after Corgi rally model in bright mid-blue finish with a white roof and blue bonnet (standard issue has a white bonnet). Lemon interior. Detailed crossed flags transfer is complete on the bonnet. Shaped spun wheels have suspension, bold racing number 1 on both doors (bold i.e. thicker print), jewelled headlights. Notably complete door labels and a bonnet transfer.
Just one little nick at roof edge – hard to fault otherwise.
The box is complete, with just minor rubbing/handling wear at edges. Tiny tear. Period price label on box underside and at an end flap.
