'MAGNIFIQUE'

The ultimate Corgi Mini - I think some of the detail got lost though in
the multitude of features, It's hard to combine fine detail with the
rigidity needed in the bodyshell with all those openings, but they
didn't do too bad. Its typical of Corgi and their need for the extra
novelty feature to provide that fun sliding sunroof.
The detail on this model though is really very
ambitious and mostly well done. The car was available in metallic blue or
metallic green, values for both versions are about the same. The car was made
from 1968 to 1970 and is pretty well sought after getting good prices.
