Notes
We are thrilled to see this Hillman Hunter model once more!
Originally one of the exciting factory pieces from The Monty Calme landmark Corgi Collection. This remarkable collection covered the width and breadth of Corgi models amassed over decades by an exuberant collector. The Monty Calme collection was 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.
This is one of 2 unique colour trial Corgi models purchased by this collector at Bonham’s Auction House in December 2009, and part of the property of an ex-Corgi employee.
The production version of Corgi 302 Hillman Hunter Rally Car would be finished in mid-blue with a white roof and back bonnet. This colour trial version has a metallic blue-green finish with white roof and black bonnet. No labels are applied. Opening case and spare wheels are in situ on the roof, along with the bare spotlight and wing mirror details, suspension on cast wheels. Jewelled rear light and painted red rear lights.
Riveted base.
Now this item comes complete with an original very fresh, clean and bright blue and yellow window box which is an exceptional example. Complete with all original accompanying accessories:
A remarkable opportunity for the Corgi specialist collector to add this unique piece to the collection.
