Corgi Toys 301 Iso Grifo 7 Litre Pre-production
Iso Grifo 7 Litre Pre-production colour trial by Corgi Toys. From 1972. Very good plus. Originally owned by Marcel Van Cleemput, Chief Designer to Corgi.
Notes
Originally owned by a friend of Marcel Van Cleemput, with some remarkable items in this Corgi enthusiast’s collection.
A highly attractive colour trial of the Iso Grifo in metallic gold and black with black interior – a shame this version never went into full production (metallic blue with a white interior was decided upon instead).
A few chips to the paint finish.
Screwed base typical of prototype/trial models.
Housed in a standard red and yellow window box. Light wear only.Intact original cellophane.
