Corgi Toys Hillman Hunter 'London to Sydney' Rally winner 3
Corgi Toys 302 Hillman Hunter MKII 'London to Sydney' Marathon winner
This 1:43rd scale model is a realistic representation of the Rootes Group 1968 winning entry. It was issued in July 1969 and over 150,000 models were sold during the three years production period. Attractively painted in mid blue with a white roof and black bonnet. Play value features abounded on this model. The main one being Corgi's unique "Take-Off-Wheels" where the wheels could be removed after releasing the "Golden Jacks". Mounted on the roof was a hinged opening tool kit revealing plated tools, spare wheels and tyres. There were numerous 'jewelled' lights. One was mounted on the red kangaroo bar, another on the rear and four represented the headlights. There was also two rotating spot lights. The interior details included seats and steering wheel plus as this was a rally car a roll bar. Finally, there was spring suspension.
In mint and boxed examples you will find a decal sheet and a kangaroo!
Note this model has non standard wheel hubs. However, these were as originally supplied as the roof mounted hub is the same style.
