Morris Mini Cooper Monte Carlo

No.37 on the sides and a chrome lamp on the roof means this is #317 in the confusing world of Corgi’s Mini Coopers. At least this is one escaped Whizzwheels treatment. This is also the one easily identified by having absolutely no jewelled spot lamps, just the normal two big jewel headlamps. It has taken me a while to find this as they are all terribly expensive, presumably because there are a lot of Mini fans out there and they must look good all together. This was around from early 1964 to 1965 when another Cooper rally win meant another model had to come out and that would be #321. This on has paint knocked off each corner and one chip on the roof but is otherwise really good.The lamp is there and undamaged and the suspension is sound and windows and interior nice and clean.
