Notes

We are thrilled to see this Hillman Hunter model once more!

Originally one of the exciting factory pieces from The Monty Calme landmark Corgi Collection. This remarkable collection covered the width and breadth of Corgi models amassed over decades by an exuberant collector. The Monty Calme collection was a truly astonishing gathering of the best of Corgi models and ephemera, including rare and unique pieces and point of sale items. The largest collection we have ever seen.

This is one of 2 unique colour trial Corgi models purchased by this collector at Bonham’s Auction House in December 2009, and part of the property of an ex-Corgi employee.
