C258

Notes

First issue model introduced in 1965 in white finish, with a bright red interior and a black “Saint” matchstick figure transfer on the bonnet. This is one of the nicest examples we have seen in a long while. The car is in virtually mint condition with just a couple of near microscopic marks only, and probably as-made. Nearly always found with rubs and wear to the raised body lines and at bumpers – this example is happily free from these! Displays superbly with a crisp white paint finish, and a notably complete, bright and clean transfer (nearly always ‘nibbled’ at edges). The silver detailing at bumpers and sides which so often wears off during handling, is nice and bright, as is the detailing at front and rear bumpers (showing that this car has had careful/minimal handling). Jewelled headlights, perfect suspension on shaped spun wheels, driver. All original throughout – what a beauty!

The blue and yellow picture box is complete and quite crisp with all end flaps intact. Very minor edge stain that is easily overlooked, and the most minor age wear besides.

A sought-after t.v. related Corgi model – especially a first issue example in this condition!
