The 313 Whizzwheels Ford Cortina with a Graham Hill character would normally be metallic bronze or metallic blue. For some reason best known to Corgi, an export edition was produced and painted a rather grotty shade of pale brown, better known as beige. 

Not only did they change the colour but they also changed the dashboard to provide a left-hand drive version! Unbelievably, however, there are also right-hand drive versions of the beige car! Which is rarest I do not know but neither is easy to track down. 

This one is the LHD version in fair condition, with quite a few marks to the paintwork and cracks in front and rear screens. The silver has disappeared from the wheels but the jewels are all present. The red interior is clean and undamaged, the seats folding as they should. 

This is an original model that will be missing from most collections and prices reach four figures for those in the best condition. There is no box nor Graham Hill character with this one, originals of which are easy to obtain as they're exactly the same as those sold with the normal issues still available quite cheaply.
