C499
Corgi 499 Citroen Safari 1968 Winter Olympics "Grenoble". Very near mint/boxed. Unused. Complete with both figures and Instructions. From a large, stunning diverse collection with many items in old shop stock condition.
Notes
The most difficult to find of the three Citroen Winter Sports vehicles made by Corgi, this “Grenoble” issue is an outstanding unused example.
The car looks as if it has been taken out of its box once or twice ever. All delicate roof parts are complete and intact, still partly banded to the roof with the original elastic band. Ski-ing and figure on sled are still present.
A beautifully detailed perfect “Grenoble” transfer on the bonnet of this white and blue Citroen.
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). Not even marked at this vulnerable site.
Downgraded from absolutely mint due to a smal scuff near a rear wheel arch.
The colourful cellophane-fronted header card box is complete, really fresh and bright. So crisp! Note the large header card stands up straight (so often found floppy).
A real beauty – but note that the original cellophane has a couple of storage splits.
One set of end flaps carefully prised opened to release the model, other end has never been opened. 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!
