Notes
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 1st issue metal 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, a couple of chips head-on and a few tarnished spots on the roof button.
The original ring is included (both faces of Napoleon Solo and Ilya Kuriakin may be seen, vari-view).
The colourful card plinth with scarlet centre panel is very crisp, fresh and bright, with only minor wear ad tear at wheel slots.
The colourfully illustrated card box too is strongly-coloured and complete, with no tears or graffiti. Very, very nice – one of the best outer boxes for this model that we have ever seen. Both original card packing rings are included as well as the card packing piece.
A very rare version with shaped spun wheels and metal spotlights.
