Notes
This is the first, more desirable issue (1967-70) Batboat with a tinplate fin (later issues had a plastic fin).
A rare variation with pale purple-blue screens. With bright and fresh complete paper labels on both sides (couple of as-applied light ‘wrinkles’ to one side), both seated figures of Batman and Robin and an attractive, beautifully detailed tinplate fin (later issues were plastic). Notably intact dashboard chrome. Silver steering wheel. Bright gold trailer with detailed cast wheels.
In close to mint condition with a little light rubbing at the tow ring, as you might expect.
This item comes complete with the black towing hook accessory piece which could be used to attach it to the first issue Batmobile (without tow hook).
The card box with atmospheric graphics, is a work of art in itself!
Crisp, bright and complete. Tiny edge rub – and very light wear. Period French (or perhaps from Switzerland or Belgium) price at an end flap.
Note that this box issue has ‘National Periodical Publications inc. 1966’, no Spare Tyre information printed on an end flap and no ‘Colour of contents may differ…’
