Corgi Toys 251 Hillman Imp
Corgi 251 Hillman Imp. Very near mint/boxed. Metallic DEEP BLUE version with luggage. From Christoph's Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1963-66, this model has a bright deep metallic blue finish, yellow interior, shaped spun wheels. So often these models are found with broken suspension at the rear, since it is by depressing the rear wheels that one is able to fold down the rear seats. Please note that the suspension is notably present on all four wheels. Shiny spun wheels and as-new original tyres.
Very close to mint, with luggage.
A couple of traces of red paint – stray factory paint when the rear lights details were added.
The box is complete and bright showing some age and handling wear including a tiny tear.
