Citroen Safari Alpine Rescue Car by Corgi Toys

This particular model was sold on ebay by George's Good Stuff in November 2007 for £560 in the following condition:
This beautiful and extremely hard to find Corgi model is in immaculate mint condition, you won't find better than this anywhere, it is an absolute stunner, and it comes in its equally superb perfect original blue and yellow window box, unmarked, with perfect cellophane, very crisp, clean, bright and complete - very nice indeed!
Inside the inner card tray is also perfect, and contains an original Corgi Model Club leaflet, while both figures are contained inside the original plastic bubble which covers them and protects the model.
This gorgeous 1970 model and box is extremely hard to find anywhere these days, and this is an immaculate 'shop stock' museum piece - definitely one for the serious collector!
