C475
Corgi 475 Citroen Safari '1964 Olympic Winter Sports'. Red skis and poles version. Very near mint/boxed. With Instruction Leaflet. From a very fine private Cheshire collection.
Notes
Issued between 1964-65, this Citroen model has a crisp white finish, pale green dashboard and rear seats, pale brown front seats. Complete with skier, yellow roof-rack, four red skis and four poles. Complete, clean and vivid bonnet transfer.
A few negligible marks away from mint.
Model feature works well; i.e. the rear seats can be laid flat by operating the mechanism on the baseplate. Spring suspension is fine on shaped spun wheels. Comes with the often-missing Instruction leaflet too.
The box is complete, bright and clean. Tear at a small end flap and a very small start of a tear at another.
