Description
MADONNA AMERICAN LIFE CORGI MINI COOPER PROMOTIONAL ITEM LIMITED INDIVIDUALLY NUMBERED
A BIT OF BACKGROUND ABOUT THIS ITEM AS THERE IS A LOT OF FALSE INFORMATION FLOATING AROUND ON THE INTERNET. THERE WERE 600 OF THESE MINIS PRODUCED IN BLACK TO PROMOTE THE AMERICAN LIFE ALBUM IN 2003. 506 OF THESE WERE ALLOCATED TO MEDIA GUESTS AT THE ALBUM LAUNCH PARTY. THESE 506 WERE BRANDED WITH AN AMERICAN LIFE STICKER ON THE BOX AND CAME WITH A CERTIFICATE STATING WHICH NUMBER THE CAR WAS OUT OF 506.
THE OTHER 94 OF THESE CARS WERE GIVEN OUT EXCLUSIVELY TO EMPLOYEES AT WARNER MUSICS LONDON OFFICE IN KENSINGTON. THESE 96 WERE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF THE 506 GIVEN OUT TO THE MEDIA AT THE LAUNCH PARTY. THE BOXES DID NOT CONTAIN THE AMERICAN LIFE BRANDED STICKER AND THE CERTIFICATE SIMPLY STATED THE NUMBER OF THE VEHICLE BETWEEN THE NUMBERS OF 507 AND 600.
EACH CARS CERTIFICATE MATCHES THE NUMBER PLATES ON THE CAR ITSELF. THE FRONT NUMBER PLATE SHOULD BE WHITE, THE REAR YELLOW AND ALL 3 NUMBERS SHOULD MATCH.
I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE A FRIEND WHO WORKED AT THE KENSINGTON OFFICE AT THE TIME AND WHO WASN'T A MADONNA FAN AND THEREFORE I INHERITED THEIRS.
AS MANY OF YOU WILL ALSO KNOW THESE WERE ALSO PRODUCED IN RED AND CAMOUFLAGE BUT IN EXTREMELY LIMITED QUANTITIES.
THERE ARE MANY FAKE COPIES OF THE RED MINI FLOATING AROUND AND I MYSELF WAS ONCE TRICKED INTO BUYING ONE, SO BE CAREFUL! THANKFULLY I HAD THIS BLACK ONE TO COMPARE AND INSTANTLY DETECTED THE RED WAS A FAKE.
THIS BLACK EDITION IS STILL EXTREMELY HARD TO COME BY AND THE WARNER EMPLOYEE VERSIONS EVEN MORE SO AS THERE WERE LESS THAN 100 OF THESE AS OPPOSED TO 506.
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING ITEM AND ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER MADONNA COLLECTIBLES OF ALL TIME.
THIS ONE HAS NEVER BEEN OUT OF ITS BOX AND BOTH CAR/BOX AND CERTIFICATE ARE IN IMPECCABLE CONDITION. YOU CAN ALSO SEE FROM THE IMAGES ABOVE THAT I STILL HAVE THE WARNER MUSIC LABEL, BUT FOR CONFIDENTIALITY REASONS I HAVE HAD TO BLACK OUT THE DETAILS.
ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE FOR ANY MADONNA FAN / COLLECTOR.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS, EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED IN THE LISTING BUT ARE CONCERNED YOU MAY OWN A FAKE ETC, JUST GIVE ME A SHOUT.
