Notes

The most difficult to find of the three Citroen Winter Sports vehicles made by Corgi, this “Grenoble” issue is in near mint, original condition.

C499w6351

The decorative bonnet transfer is near perfect (only the most minor wear), and there is a small scratch on the rear of the blue roof.
Skier and figure on sled are still present.
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).
The colourful cellophane-fronted header card box is complete with original cellophane (tiny nick only).

C499w6352

Usual crease to header card reverse where it joins the main body of the box and a small tear to the red inner card stand.
A very attractive example of this popular Corgi Olympic-inspired Citroen!
