Notes
Issued between 1962-65 in a variety of colour finishes, this salmon pink finish being the most difficult to find. After 1965, this car became the Saint’s Volvo (renumbered Corgi 258).
This example is in all original, close to mint condition with a bright lemon interior and original silver detailing at the raised bodylines and bumpers. Suspension on shiny shaped spun hubs and the supple original tyres look as-new.
Displays well in this distinctive colour finish.
Few mere pinprick marks at a wheel arch rim and a (factory assembly) mark low down on one side. Little marks at bumpers.
The box is complete,clean and strongly-coloured. All end flaps are intact. Minor handling wear and a penned cross mark at an end flap. Little writing in pen on this end flap. No tears. Corgi Club Membership Form is included (crumpled and rather discoloured now).
Corgi Club Membership Form is included.
