Notes
The most difficult to find of the three Citroen Winter Sports vehicles made by Corgi.
This white and blue Citroen is in all original condition with a beautifully detailed perfect “Grenoble” transfer on the bonnet. All delicate roof parts are complete and intact. Ski-ing and figure on sled are still present.
Shaped spun wheels with suspension. The opening tailgate reveals where the skier and tobogganist can be stowed away safely in the back of the car (the rear seats may be folded down).
Few spots of faint red residue at the sides caused by prolonged contact with the box inner. Tiny area of rough casting at the windscreen edge. Mere dot or two besides.
The colourful cellophane-fronted header card box is complete, fresh and bright. Note the large header card is complete if rather’ floppy’ now. Original cellophane window has a very small hole and split. Light age wear.
Intact and bright card inner.
A very attractive example of this popular Corgi Olympic-inspired Citroen.
