5) Corgi 321 Austin Mini-Cooper in red with roof signatures of Timo Makinen and Paul Easter. Another very desirable Corgi car in sparkling very near mint condition!

All contents are housed in a polystyrene tray which is very clean, bright and complete. Only the most minor wear. Complete with Corgi label with dog logo still in place.

Cgs41r7605

The colourful card lid has certainly benefitted from being housed in the plain card over-sleeve for all these years.

Colours are day-one bright and fresh! Minimal wear only to the card, although there is some glue residue from an old price label in the bottom corner and a very small stain to one side of the lid (not the picture face).
Outer card sleeve is clean and intact, with minor ruffling at edges.

A superb and all-original set straight from a discerning collector’s private collection. Not an easy find.
