Here is another example that I have of this rare model. The 313 Whizzwheels Ford Cortina in an original box with an original Graham Hill character would normally be metallic bronze or metallic blue. For some reason best known to Corgi, an export edition was produced and painted a rather grotty shade of pale brown, better known as beige. 

Not only did they change the colour but they also changed the dashboard to provide a left-hand drive version! Unbelievably, however, there are also right-hand drive versions of the beige car! Which is rarest I do not know but neither is easy to track down. 

This one is in pretty good condition, with good, clear screens and paintwork. The silver has stayed on the wheels and the jewels are all present. The red interior is clean and undamaged, the seats folding as they should. There are a few chips to the paintwork, mostly on the wings and wear to the 'vinyl' roof but they are not as obvious on the bodywork for this colour model and it really does look excellent on display.

This is a good example that will be missing from most collections and prices reach four figures for those in the best condition. I also have a right-hand drive edition available.
