This particular model was sold on ebay by George's Good Stuff in July 2007 for £150 in the following condition:
This beautiful and very rare Corgi Mini racing car model is in overall superb excellent to near mint condition, showing just some small marks to the front and some tiny nibbles to the door decals, but overall in very bright clean displayable condition, a really beautiful example of a very scarce model.
Even better, it comes in its absolutely immaculate and virtually perfect original box, totally unmarked, 100 per cent complete, very crisp, clean and bright, and including an original Join The Corgi Model Club leaflet - very nice indeed!
Another top quality collector's item, one of Corgi's hardest to find models from their golden 1960s period, and a wonderful addition to any collection!
