These are always a popular item and most sought after now. This is the second of the Monte Carlo Minis, being issued in 1965 and it was not available for long, being replaced in 1966 by another model with the same catalogue number but a completely different casting and appearance.
This one has three fog lamp jewels as well as two cast lamps which no other Mini has got. It has the usual white roof and bears the RN52 transfers on the doors and related Monte Carlo transfers on the boot and bonnet.
This edition always has the shaped, free spinning wheels and the only known variation is a pinker shade of white on the roof.
This one is in pretty good condition, showing some signs of being played with and with some chips to the paint in places. It is all original, however, with clean and clear windows and no touch-ins. The decals on the doors may be good replacements but those on the bonnet and boot are original.
This is the Mini that was included in the very rare and very expensive Monte Carlo Gift Set 38. That is one of the reasons these are now so expensive as collectors are keen to rebuild those sets too.
