M12
Mercury No. 12 Fiat 850 Bertone. White issue. With black or cream detachable hoods. The first time these models, hitherto largely unknown, have come to the market place.
Notes
We are thrilled to be able to offer these remarkable models for sale. Issued in extremely low numbers at the time, they were assembled and painted in Arica, a duty-free city on the Northern tip of Chile. These exceptionally rare models were discovered by a collector on a trip to South America. The castings were made in Italy and then assembled and painted in Chile.
Even the standard Mercury Fiat model is a rare find in white! THis model is finished in ‘Chilean white’ with a bright red interior, cream steering wheel, spoked wheels and well-shaped original tyres.
Comes with a choice of a black or cream detachable hood!
Few very minor marks only.
Colourful card box is fine with only the most minor wear. Note the all-important ‘ARMADO EN ARICA’ (Made in Arica) stamp on the inside surface of one large end flap.
An exceptionally rare model.
