C249
Corgi 249 Morris Mini-Cooper 'Wickerwork'. Very near mint/boxed. Cast wheel issue. From a private collection in the U.S.
Notes
A popular Corgi model of this much-loved little car with a smart red and black finish and distinctive ‘wickerwork’ panelling at both sides and at the rear. Sparkling jewelled headlights and suspension on detailed cast wheels. As-new fine tread tyres.
Quite delightful – and with just one easily-overlooked corner wrinkle and dot on the delicate rear transfer, this is a great display piece! Issued between 1965-69.
The pictorial box is fresh-looking with crisp clean colours on bright, barely handled card. No tears. Period pencilled price at an end flap.
