Notes
The most difficult to find of the three Citroen Winter Sports vehicles made by Corgi.
This white and blue Citroen is in all original condition with a beautifully detailed, complete “Grenoble” transfer on the bonnet. All delicate roof parts are complete and intact. Ski-ing and figure on sled are still present. Remains of the original elastic bands still in situ too.
Shaped spun wheels. Remains of the original elastic bands which affixed the model to the inner are present. The opening tailgate reveals where the skier and tobogganist can be stowed away safely in the back of the car (the rear seats may be folded down).
The colourful cellophane-fronted header card box complements the model well. Note however, that the delicate original cellophane window has a small puncture.
The colourful and bright card inner has serrated sides which enable the model to be extracted more easily by separating the card at these points. Both serrations have been used for this purpose.
Comes with the model specific leaflet.
Note that a previous example achieved £1300 plus premium at QDT Auction.
