Notes

The most difficult to find of the three Citroen Winter Sports vehicles made by Corgi, this “Grenoble” issue looks close to shop-fresh.

C499r7612

The car has barely been handled and all delicate roof parts are complete and intact. Ski-ing and figure on sled are still present.

C499r7615

A beautifully detailed perfect “Grenoble” transfer on the bonnet of this white and blue Citroen.

C499r7614

Shaped spun wheels with suspension. The opening tailgate reveals where the skier and toboggonist can be stowed away safely in the back of the car (the rear seats may be folded down). There are a couple of dots to one rear wheel arch – otherwise very hard to fault.
The colourful cellophane-fronted header card box is complete, fresh and bright, with intact original cellophane.

C499r7616

Old shopkeeper’s price label at one end.

C499r7617

Minimal creasing to header card reverse and a small tear to the red inner card stand.
This model comes complete with the Instruction Leaflet which doubles as a Corgi Club Membership Form.

A very attractive example of this popular Corgi Olympic-inspired Citroen!
