C301
Corgi 301 Iso Grifo 7 Litre Pre-production colour trial. 1972. Very good plus. Probably one of only a handful or even a unique piece from The 'Monty Calme' Corgi Collection.
Notes
The Monty Calme landmark Corgi Collection, covering the width and breadth of Corgi models amassed over decades by an exuberant collector. The Monty Calme collection is a truly astonishing gathering of the best of Corgi models and ephemera, including rare and unique pieces and point of sale items. The largest collection we have ever seen.
Monty says:
" I bought this model from QDT several years ago when they were handling an important collection from Austria. The seller was a friend of Marcel Van Cleemput so many items from him were pretty amazing!"
A highly attractive colour trial of the Iso Grifo in metallic gold and black with black interior – a shame this version never went into full production (metallic blue with a white interior was decided upon instead).
In very good condition with a few chips to the paint finish.
Screwed base typical of prototype/trial models.
