Notes
Issued between 1962-65 in a variety of colour finishes, this salmon pink finish being the most difficult to find. After 1965, this car became the Saint’s Volvo (renumbered Corgi 258).
This example is in all original, close to mint condition with a lemon interior and original silver detailing at the raised body lines and bumpers. Suspension on shiny shaped spun hubs and the supple original tyres are well-shaped.
Displays well in this distinctive colour finish.
Chip to the front numberplate area and a little mark at a rear wing. Tiny mark or two besides.
The box is complete and bright. Crisp feel. Light wear. Corgi Club Membership Form.
