C158
Corgi 158 Lotus-Climax F/1. Near mint plus/boxed. Early box. With Model Specific Feature Leaflet. From 'The Monty Calme' Corgi Collection.
Notes
This is the early issue in the all card pictorial box.
The Lotus model has a deep orange and white finish and complete racing number 8 labels on the bonnet stripe and both sides. ‘Realistic’ driver controlled steering too. Complete with racing driver, aerofoils, both wing mirrors and an intact windscreen.
Close to mint condition with little marks at front and rear points.
Also included is the Feature Leaflet for this model which incorporates a Corgi Club Membership Form.
The box is very fresh, crisp and really bright. Old shop stock quality save for a little fleck of surface loss at an end flap.
This range of racing cars is still relatively undervalued ? Corgi models in this condition are excellent investment items.
