Corgi 249
Corgi 249 Morris Mini-Cooper 'Wickerwork'. Very, very near mint /boxed. Cast wheel issue. Super example from The 25 Year Collection in California.
Notes
A popular Corgi model of this much-loved little car with a smart red and black finish and complete, distinctive ‘wickerwork’ panelling at both sides and at the rear. Sparkling jewelled headlights and suspension on detailed cast wheels. Early issue without the horizontal front wing casting line. Well-shaped original tyres. Issued between 1965-69.
Downgraded due to a tiny raised casting mark on the bonnet.
The pictorial box is complete and bright with a very crisp feel. No tears or graffiti and plenty of end flap spring. Gives the impression of unsold old shop stock. Period dollar price label.
