Corgi 349
Corgi 349 Morris Mini Minor 'POP ART'. Very near mint /boxed. Outstanding box. Rare model.
Notes
One of the most prized Corgi models, we are pleased to offer this example in superb, close to mint condition.
Correctly finished in orange-red with suspension on detailed cast wheels. The highly decorative transfers are virtually complete – complete. Note too that this model has the correct horizontal body line on the front wing and patent number (not patent applied) on the base. These details ensure that this model is a Mini Mostest and not a later decorated red Mini Corgi 226.
Not a trace of sunfading on this most decorated Corgi car! Indeed, it has obviously had occasional and careful handling only, since the delicate transfers are so easy to damage. The transfers on both sides, including the ‘MOSTEST’ lettering, and the large roof transfer, are crisp, vibrant – and complete!
The bonnet transfer has a small area of loss in the centre (which is often the case as the transfer covers the central bonnet line). Tiny front edge nick besides. Quite easy to overlook.
Very, very close to mint paint finish.
Overall impression is extremely fine.
The correct, colourfully illustrated card box is bright, fresh, crisp and and clean.Vert -y close to shop-fresh in fact. Period price label on an end flap.
One of the most highly-prized Corgi items in close to mint/boxed, original condition!
