C258
Pre-Production Sample of Corgi 268 Toyota Supra L6 in resin. Another piece of Corgi history from The MBU Collection.
Notes
Attractively finished in light gold with hand-painted details and black paint for the windows.
The MNU Collector says:
“Pre-production hand-carved resin model of the Toyota Supra L6. Ex-design dept and given to me by Susan Pownall of Corgi, on a visit to Maidenhead Static Model Club where I was secretary.”
This model was never released in this colour finish. 1:36 scale model would be released under the numbering Corgi 258 in 1986. Whizzwheels.
Couple of roof chips.
