Notes
A sought-after Corgi rally model in bright mid-blue finish with a white roof and blue bonnet (standard issue has a white bonnet). Lemon interior. Detailed crossed flags transfer is notably complete on the bonnet. Shaped spun wheels have suspension, bold racing number 7 on both doors (intact), jewelled headlights. Silver trim. Well-shaped tyres.
Very nice indeed!
The keenest eye may find the tiniest mark or two.
The box is complete and bright, with quite a crisp feel. A little age/handling wear includes minro fading mostly to an end flap. Pencilled initials on a non-picture side.
