Corgi Nova/Corsa models.

[areofall]

Just wondering have we any model collectors among us, I have sourced a few of the corgi nova/corsa models I have at least 7 mint boxed examples, the following colours

White with opel decal on bonnet
Red in different cards
Yellow with red stripe
Silver in Visco BP livery
2 Blue examples, only ever seen two of these and there mine!

These are all original items for the period the blue examples were got on ebay about 2 years ago one from the UK and another from Austrila within a week of each other and I have never seen them since? Does anyone else have other Corgi examples?

Has anyone ever seen a Corgi Nova in red with a broad white stripe on the sides? Sorry, bit of a spotter here.

[loggyboy]

I have one, the silver BP one, picked it up at goodwood last yr for a nugget.

Corgi have a red 1:43 in their cataloge but modelzone dont have stock that ive seen.

[Ben]

Ive got 15-20 all wrapped up in a box somewhere.

[Mike]

Ive got a blue saloon 3dr somewhere, and a Renault 5 GT Turbo lol still in its Renault box.

[areofall]

Here the pictures of the models. This is how much of a train spotter I am.

The 2 blue versions are the only two I have ever seen, the yellow examples are two different wheel varations, the single uncarded version has a yellow interior were as the rest all have cream.
