Based on a car driven by Tony Fall and Mike Wood in 1966’s RAC / SUN Rally, Corgi added a sump guard to their Mini Cooper casting and gave it an impressive six jewelled headlights. Unusually, it came in a Corgi 225 Austin Seven box with a ‘1966 RAC International Rally’ label stuck over the top. The lack of a dedicated box didn’t help off-the-shelf sales – that’s if shops even stocked Corgi 333 as it only appeared on order forms for eight months. By late 1967, the Corgi warehouse had a stock surplus resulting in it being included with the Carrimore Car Transporter as part of Gift Set 48.

Today it is one of the rarest of Corgi’s Mini Coopers. Both Morris and Austin-badged originals exist, some with shaped wheel hubs and others with the cast ‘louvre’ design. In January 1967, a thousand 333 models (presented in a plain white box) were given away as part of a Sun newspaper reader competition.

Prachtige wagen

Het exemplaar is goed aangekomen en in perfecte staat afgeleverd

Satisfied

Excellent model and good swift service.

Another great "old" Corgi

Like the red "177 Rallye Monte Carlo" also this "Sun/RAC"one is really well done. Great idea to create it that way. I love it. And again - back to my childhood- I startet playing with it on my livingroom- table , like centuries ago....Thanks for creating such beautiful Diecast models. Cheers. Armin from Germany

Great little mini

What a great little model and so accurate of the time from Corgi. The attention to detail of having the rally number only on the 1 side is the kind of detail I like. As this is a replica of a corgi sold back in the day it's as accurate as you will get even down to corgi using an incorrect box and utilising a stick on label. CMC have done it again bravo guys and girls
