This toy car is a Corgi Toys No. 317 BMC Mini Cooper S, themed after the famous Monte Carlo Rally.
Released by Corgi Toys in 1965, this model celebrated the real-life sporting triumphs of the British Motor Corporation (BMC) Mini Cooper S. The number 37 specifically commemorates the legendary car driven by Paddy Hopkirk and Henry Liddon, who won the grueling Monte Carlo Rally outright in 1964.
Design: It features a red die-cast body, a textured white roof, and yellow interior seating.
Graphics: The doors display a white square racing decal with the number 37. The hood features the official Rallye Monte-Carlo logo decal.
Condition: Good playworn condition. The Model is complete. it features the iconic jewelled headlights on the front grill and the chrome spotlight on the roof, that unfortunately as been painted over. The stickers are still present in the hood and one of the doors. The roof has been painted over, probably by is first owner as a kid, so in its current play-worn, unrestored condition without a box, it is a candidate for restoration or as a nostalgic display piece.
