C317
Corgi 317 Mini Cooper 'S' Monte Carlo '64. Mint (no rear label)/boxed. In plain stamped box. Scarce! From the 1200 model Italian collection.
Notes
Issued between 1964-65, this is one of the range of exciting racing Minis produced by Corgi during this period. Extremely popular at the time, they are even more sought-after by collectors these days!
A fresh and original red and white finish on this racing model with a bright silver, swivelling spotlight on the roof (no robbing to the chrome finish!). Bold print racing number ‘37’ on both doors are complete. ‘Monte Carlo’ bonnet transfer is notably intact too and thankfully free of the near-obligatory centre line rub. Bright jewelled headlights and an attractive original finish on the silver radiator and bumper. Again free of the chips at this vulnerable area! Curiously, there is no trace of a rear transfer on this model which leads us to believe that one was never applied!
Bright white roof has none of the usual edge nicks that can spoil the appearance of this great little iconic car.
A delightful unused example in mint condition. Stray flick of factory silver just above the rear bumper.
The crisp and clean scarce stamped box shows minimal handling. A little pencilled numbering on each box surface. No tears or edge rubbing.
