C154
Pre-production Sample Piece of CorgiJPS Lotus Formula 1 Racing Car 'Lucky Strike'. Originally the property of Marcel Van Cleemput. A unique item from The Monty Calme Collection.
Notes
A pity this particular version never made it past the design stage. This pre-production sample piece (originally the property of Marcel Van Cleemput, Chief Designer for Corgi), has a white finish, hand-finished details to the driver figure, ‘LUCKY STRIKE’ labels (the label on the spoiler particular is obviously an unfinished item at this stage). Hand-finished racing numbers. An exceptionally scarce piece, probably one of a kind.
