Notes

A popular Corgi model in primrose yellow finish with a white roof and bonnet, crossed flags on the bonnet. Shaped spun wheels have suspension, racing number 7 on both doors, jewelled headlights. A superb model on display. Note that this is the more unusual version with yellow rather than white bonnet.

Notably, the crossed flags on the bonnet are complete as are the bright racing numbers on the doors. Hard to fault, apart from a paint bubble (as-made) on the roof. One of the best examples we have seen in a while! None of the usual chipping at roof edges which would spoil the appearance of this racing Mini, or indeed at the bumpers.
The box is complete and vividly-coloured, although it does have some writing on one end flap. Corgi Club Mmembership Form is included. Only the most minor wear besides

In all original condition, this is a delightful Mini issued between 1962-65.
