Here is a rare model. The 313 Whizzwheels Ford Cortina was sold in a box with a Graham Hill character and 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 and produced a left hand drive version as a well as this RHD one!
It is in less than perfect condition, with wear to the paintwork but the jewels are all present and the screens are all intact and clear. The red interior is clean and undamaged, the seats folding as they should.
There is no box or Graham Hill character but this is still a great item that will be missing from most collections. I am happy to keep it in mine for the time being too so, until I eventually find another, it is not for sale cheaply.
