C158
Corgi 158 Lotus-Climax F/1. Near mint plus/boxed. Early box. Complete with Model Specific Feature Leaflet & card packing piece. From the 1200 model Italian collection.
Notes
This is the early issue in the all card pictorial box.
The Lotus model has a deep orange and white finish and complete racing number 8 labels on the bonnet stripe and both sides (note the glue making the bonnet stripe a little transparent – common, and there is a tiny crease to one of the door racing numbers). ‘Realistic’ driver controlled steering too. Complete with racing driver, aerofoils, both wing mirrors and an intact windscreen. A couple of small marks.
Also included is the Feature Leaflet for this model which incorporates a Corgi Club Membership form (little tear).
The box is very fresh, crisp and really bright and looks shop-fresh. Small storage crumple and a price label at an end flap.
