Summary
A 'Corgi Toys' die-cast 'Morris Mini Minor" 226 painted in a dark maroon colour and plastic cream interiors. The model is in fair condition with some scratches on the paintwork, and a small crack down the front windscreen.The tyres on the left hand side of the car appear to mis-match those on the left which look to be original. In addition only one of the tyres on the left has the word 'Corgi' around the side of the tyre. This may be the only original.
Provenance
Collected and played with by donors’ late son, Marcus, and donated to the Museum of Childhood by Mr and Mrs John Parry in December 2010.
