Originally released in an Olympic Winter Sports livery in 1964, Corgi re-issued the model the following year, replacing the Olympic symbol on the bonnet with a Corgi Ski Club decal. Otherwise, the tooling was identical, also retaining the earlier model’s miniature skiing figure, plus a roofrack with detachable skis and poles.

Out of the box, the figure (which clipped onto the skis) was placed inside the Citroën, accessed via an opening tailgate. The model also featured a tilting rear seat mechanism, operated via a thumb wheel on the base. The tooling originated from Corgi 436, an African safari themed model from 1963. A final version was released as Corgi 499, which revived the Winter Olympic theme for 1968’s event at Grenoble.

Why not?

Very pleased with this Citroën DS, which as a kid was one of my favorite Corgi Toys. And judged by the prices mais on auction sites, I am not the only fan.
When I started recreating the collection I had as a kid, I only wanted the 'real' stuff. Genuine classic, boxed Corgi's. But looking at the evolution of the prices of the most interesting models, it is becoming (or already is) an expensive hobby.
Looking at the website of the Corgi Model Club, I thought, why not? So I ordered the Citroën DS as a try-out. A good decision. Not only the price is interesting, the replica looks as good as the one I have fond memories of. Pleased with the details like the folding rear seat.
And when I opened the box there was another pleasant surprise. The catalogue, just the way I remembered them from the past. Yes, from now on I am a fan!

A wonderful Perfect Model
