Citroën ID19 Safari 'Corgi Ski Club'

There are two versions of #475: one with the Olympics 1964 sticker and a yellow roof rack and a Corgi Ski Club version with a red roof rack. I didn’t think the roof rack colours were interchangeable but I was wrong as this one has a yellow rack.

This came second as it is billed in the 1966 catalogue and the Olympic one comes in the 1965 catalogue. I guess the 1964 sticker would have dated it rather and hence the change!

All white now but with very odd seating. The yellow one had pea green seats but this Ski Club model has a pea green dashboard and rear folding seats but brown front seats and panelling. That’s weird. I thought it had been poorly restored but that is not the case. It was made this way. And, crazily, another version I have appears to have the colours reversed!!

This is in reasonable condition, all there and working with a good bonnet transfer but there are some chips to the paintwork and no skies or poles.
