OK, one more winter Olympic car and I'll stop - promise! (PIC)

Corgi 475 is this Citroen ID19 issued in honor of the '64 games in Innsbruck. It came with a skier, four skis, and 4 poles. I was going to fit the skis to the little Olympian but they are rather tight in the roof rack so I didn't want to risk breaking a pin. The model first appeared as a "Safari" version in yellow. I also recall a '68 Grenoble version with a competitor on a luge, but I'm missing that one. Except for a very yellowed decal, this one is mint (box not shown). There's a little gear mechanism ahead of the left rear wheel to fold the rear seat flat - this allows the little guy to take a nap!
