Notes
Issued between 1965-68, in various colour finishes, this attractive American car has the rarest colour finish i.e. kingfisher blue, with a light blue interior.
An eye-catching model in this distinctive shade. This particular colour finish seems to have been especially difficult for Corgi – and is nearly always flaky. This example has fared very well indeed and is in very close to mint condition. Opening bonnet reveals a detailed engine. Opening boot still has the little set of golf clubs inside!
It comes complete with both seated figures.
Little mark to the paint on an opening door seam (easily overlooked) and a small stain to the rear seats (may be possible to remove).
The pictorial box has the green model pictured. Vibrantly-coloured and complete, showing very light wear. Period price. Card packing ring included.
