C803
Corgi 803 The Beatles Yellow Submarine. Red hatches issue. Near mint plus/boxed. From 'The New European' Collection.
Notes
A sought-after Corgi model in original condition with all four figures of John, Paul, George and Ringo.
Red hatches issue.
All transfers look bright and fresh and the periscope is undamaged, rotating when the model is pushed along. Hatches open and close well.
Few marks to the paint finish and a couple of tiny transfer nicks. Intact plastic propellor.
The box is complete, with deep blue inner (as is so often the case there are some tears to this very fragile inner).
Box colours are fresh and vivid with lots of colourful artwork. Light crease where the header card section meets the main body of the box. Minor wear besides. Little penned date ‘1969’. Intact cellophane window.
Overall, a very pleasing example of this popular and sought-after original toy!
