Some of the adaptation of existing models to Whizzwheels are quite rare. This is the 275 that had Golden Jacks Take-Off wheels before and now gets a coat of purple metallic paint and some new grille design and chrome work. The revisions, apart from the wheels, are very accurate but this did not sell in large numbers and was only produced for a very short period. It is now one of the rare Corgis that collectors seek.
This example looks lovely on display, with paintwork that has survived extremely well. The paint does seem to be particularly vulnerable to chipping and this has one on the rear wing. Otherwise, though, it is super and one of the best I have ever had. The windows and roof are also in very good condition with no scratches or cracks.
The chrome is excellent all round too, with no broken pieces. The wheels and suspension are fine, The rear bumper is complete and base is like new. Someone has added a strange number plate back and front but it has been done in the correct style so I've left it. UK plates would not have had the letter I, however!
