All is stunning and thrilling!
But...
Wasn't the headlights jewels headlights?
(I know they can be now expensive to do but...
I think we all loved that and besidrs there was at least two tones of jewelled headlights...)
Besides that they are well done.
It's a nice detailed model en I like especial the fact that it's possible to remove the hood and roll up the rope of the block
I didn't own this one as a child but a friend had the Grenoble version with a blue roof which I drove and really liked. Of course I wish this was the same version but I guess it would cost a fortune to pay for a license from the IOC. I bought it because I've always liked these Citroens and that it has a ski theme and I ski a lot in the winter and have landed on the 1968 Olympic airfield in Grenoble many times. The model is very nicely done and I suspect it has better finish than the original. The nice thing about Corgi's models now and then is that they are not exactly perfect copies of the real car but pretty close. But who really cared when you were 5 years old. The important thing was how they felt in the hand, the weight, the suspension and the smell. Everything is there except the smell of rubber and new paint which is the only thing I actually miss from these reissues.
Around 1969-70 I was 4-5 years old and a friend who got everything he pointed at owned this car. All his cars were driven outdoors in the sandbox. I remember how I felt when I saw the car and drove it. I was completely fascinated by how the car looked with its double rear windows where you could see the engine and also the exhaust pipes. Of course I wanted one just like it but it wasn't in the toy store. That's why I've now bought it, and it's fantastic. Incredibly fine detail work. I remember it as bigger but that's probably because I was only 1/4 as big myself.
... but the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL is definitely a car boys dream of - and the convertible, well, even more so. I've been lucky enough to see and hear one in real life more than once, and that's a very good reason to want to own this perfect model. The car may not be in my garage, but the model is now proudly displayed!

Beautiful tin box. I have a collection of older ones, but I won't put this one together. I keep it with my favorite Corgi models.
I don't know if this pin existed when I was little, or if it was ever printed. But it's really beautiful and would look great in my collection.
I never had this catalog as a kid, because it was so hard to find in stores back then. This is basically the first time I've read it, and I have to admit, I really like it and it moves me a bit. It's a shame one of my favorite models wasn't in the catalog yet, but never mind, maybe another time.
