Corgi Toys 499 Citroen Safari 1968 Winter Olympics "Grenoble"

Notes

The most difficult to find of the three Citroen Winter Sports vehicles made by Corgi.
This white and blue Citroen is in all original condition with a beautifully detailed “Grenoble” transfer on the bonnet. All delicate roof parts are complete and intact. Remains of the original elastic band may be seen. Ski-ing and figure on sled are still present.

Shaped spun wheels with suspension. The opening tailgate reveals where the skier and tobogganist can be stowed away safely in the back of the car (the rear seats may be folded down).
Occasional tiny mark to the paint finish.

The colourful cellophane-fronted header card box is complete and bright. Light age/handling wear and a small split to the original cellophane window.

Card inner is clean and bright. Note this is the version with serrated sides
With Leaflet:

A very attractive example of this popular Corgi Olympic-inspired Citroen.
