Corgi 227
Corgi 227 Morris Mini-Cooper Competition Model. Without Racing Numbers! Very near mint/boxed. From The Cheshire Collection.
Notes
A sought-after Corgi rally model in bright light blue finish with a white roof and bonnet, notably intact crossed flags on the bonnet.
Displays beautifully with a crisp finish, an outstanding lustre and thankfully no edge chips to the white roof!
Do note that this example does not have racing numbers – either a factory oversight or really carefully removed at some time (why?). Outstanding, with a couple of mere dots to the paint finish.
Shaped spun wheels have suspension, jewelled headlights. Well-shaped original tyres.
The box is complete, clean and crisp. Fresh with minimal handling wear. Corgi Club Membership Form.
Issued between 1962-65.
