C158
Corgi 158 Lotus-Climax F/1. Mint/boxed. Early box. Complete with Model Specific Feature Leaflet & card packing piece. Another old shop stock quality item from 'The Monty Calme' Corgi 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. ‘Realistic’ driver controlled steering too. Complete with racing driver, aerofoils, both wing mirrors and an intact windscreen. Mint condition.
Also included is the Feature Leaflet for this model which incorporates a Corgi Club Membership Form and the packing piece too. Not often found this complete.
The box is very fresh, crisp and really bright. Old shop stock quality.
This range of racing cars is still relatively undervalued ? Corgi models in this condition are excellent investment items.
