BMC Mini Cooper S 1967 1/43 (Rallye de Monte Carlo), by Corgi Toys

BMC Mini Cooper S 1967

Even though the real winner of the 1967 Monte Carlo Rally was red (driven by Rauno Aaltonen and Henry Liddon), this version of the Mini Cooper S is strangly enough yellow.
Not a very realistic replica, this Corgi , and in my case in very poor condition.  Hard to read the license plate, it should be LBL 6D.
This car was the rally version of the Cooper S with its 1275cc engine.  1967 was the last year the Mini won the Monte Carlo Rally.
