C317
Corgi 317 Mini Cooper 'S' Monte Carlo '64. Very near mint/boxed. Super box! From The M.P. Collection in Switzerland.
Notes
Issued between 1964-65, this is one of the range of exciting racing Minis produced by Corgi during this period. Extremely popular at the time, they are sought-after by collectors these days!
This ‘spotlight’ Mini is in very close to mint condition. A fresh and crisp red and white finish on this racing model with a bright and notably unrubbed, silver spotlight on the roof (which swivels). Bold print racing number ‘37’ on both doors (complete transfers). ‘Monte Carlo’ bonnet transfer and rear transfer are notably complete (save for one tiny nick at the rear transfer). Bright jewelled headlights and an attractive original finish on the silver radiator and bumper. Bright white roof has a minute edge nick.
A tiny mark or two to the paint finish, visible if you peer at this great little model minutely.
The complete, clean and bright box is crisp and very fresh-looking. Plenty of end flap spring. Old shop stock impression.
A very fine example – both model and box!
