C485
Corgi 485 Austin Mini Countryman 'Surfing'. Very near mint/boxed. With figure and surf boards. From the Cheshire collection.
Notes
Issued between 1965-69, this Mini has a sea-green finish, ‘wood panelling’, lemon-yellow interior, jewelled headlights, aerial, notably bright chrome roof-rack with two surf boards, and surfing figure.
Suspension on shaped spun wheels.
In very close to mint condition – just a barely visible bonnet centre-line rub ( you have to peer to see it!) and a mark on a rear edge.
Thankfully, there is none of the usual rubbing to the chrome roof rack. Aerial is straight.
The colourful pictorial box is so crisp, fresh and bright. Barely any wear at all!
