Corgi Toys No. 151A Lotus Mark XI Le Mans Racing Car

Corgi Toys No. 151A Lotus Mark XI Le Mans Racing Car. A highly sought-after, early 1960s issue of the Corgi Toys No. 151A Lotus Mark XI Le Mans Racing Car. This die-cast model, representing the iconic sports racing car built by Lotus in the late 1950s, was released as a revised version in September 1961 and was available until 1965. The model is finished in a bright blue or "duck egg blue" livery, a brighter shade. It features the distinct Racing Number '7' decals on the bonnet a red, white stripe decal across the bonnet. The interior is equipped with deep red seats and a white plastic driver figure. It is fitted with silver flat spun hubs and black rubber tyres, and the clear plastic windscreen on the 151A is identifiable by its round mounting pegs on the sides, differentiating it from the earlier 151's squared-off pegs.
