Notes

A landmark Corgi Collection covering the width and breadth of Corgi models amassed over decades by an exuberant collector. The Monty Calme collection is a truly astonishing gathering of the best of Corgi models and ephemera, including rare and unique pieces and point of sale items. The largest collection we have ever seen.
A rare version of this sought-after Corgi model; the first we have ever handled with shaped spun wheels.
The car has a pleasing, rich purplish-blue finish , clean and fresh-looking original bonnet label and chromed plastic spotlights.
Model functions perfectly (depress the button on the roof for the figures to ‘shoot’ the enemy!).

A few little marks at some side body lines and a little mark at a front wing tip. Very faint scratch on the boot.
The original ring is included (both faces of Napoleon Solo and Ilya Kuriakin may be seen, vari-view). Minor rubbing at the sides of the ring as is nearly always the case due to contact with the card plinth.
The colourful card plinth with scarlet centre panel is very crisp, fresh and bright, with no tears at wheel slots.

A very rare version with shaped spun wheels.
