Notes
Surely one of the rarest Corgi models! 1000 winners of the competition organised by the Sun newspaper in 1967 received a Corgi RAC Rally Mini in a white carded box. Also included is the original fax-style letter dated January 1967.
The SUN Rally Mini model has a gleaming original red and white finish, suspension on shaped spun wheels, jewelled head and spot lights. The delicate transfers are virtually perfect-perfect.The white roof is mark-free. Presents very well indeed.
Occasional minute mark may be found if one peers extra-closely.
The special ‘Winners’ box is clean, bright and complete.
Corgi Toys is printed in blue at one end flap along with the Corgi dog logo. ‘1000 Winners!’ and ‘SUN Corgi RAC Mini’ is printed at box sides. Original old sellotape which sealed the box shut has been cut so that the box can be opened. Minor age/handling wear only.
The original accompanying letter has light creases since it has been folded inside the small box for a long time. Some streaks of red paint from the car may be seen.
An exciting piece of Corgi history – just 1000 of these were given out to the competition winners during 1967.
