Notes
An exceptional find and another little piece of Corgi history!
Uniquely finished in metallic red with shaped spun wheels and swivelling front wheels operated by means of the tyre fixing on the roof. No doubt, this colour version was considered for Corgi 256 VW Safari with Rhino. However, a scarlet (non-metallic red) version was produced, so this model could be one of a kind!
In all original, authentic condition with some chips as one might expect for an essentially unboxed model.
