Notes

This is the 1st issue Hillman Hunter ‘London To Sydney’ Marathon Winner has a very close to mint paint finish and a wealth of detail.

Complete, with intact labels (a little age transparency now), and the original kangaroo figure. Labels applied.
Opening suitcase on the roof of the car, two spare wheels and a spotlight.
Popular ‘Golden Jacks’/Take-Off Wheels’. Occasional little edge mark to the model. This example comes complete with *Instruction Leaflet which also incorporates a Corgi Club Membership Form, & Instructions for opening the case on the roof).

Inner box is very crisp and fresh and has the original kangaroo in place! Indeed, the little push-out card piece which is meant to secure his tail has not even been pushed out! Hard to find any wear apart from the tiniest of ruffles where the car has rested on the ‘London To Sydney’ sign.

1st issue outer box is notably complete with intact smooth original cellophane. Superb colour vibrancy on crisp, tear-free card. Note that this is the1st issue box, so unlike the later issue, it has the Corgi number printed on the box face. Note too that the printed text in the red box on box top is slightly different and box underside has black printed details. Box reverse has ‘Mettoy-Playcraft Toys’ printed rather than ‘Playcraft’ printed. There may be other differences too! Period price label at an end flap.
The Hillman Hunter Rally Car was issued between 1969-72.
