Notes
A very popular Corgi model – this example is in all original, mint condition, with a fine and gleaming scarlet paint finish. The left-hand drive version has a notably complete detailed bonnet label, complete door numbers and “Nairobi” label. Chrome bumpers, wheels, baseplate, and sparkling jewelled headlights.
It comes complete with rhino, as well as the white card wrap-around packing piece and the yellow card packing piece that fits over the wheel on the roof.
The colourful card plinth on which car and rhino sit is a most attractive display piece. Crisp, as-new feel to the vibrant, crisp card. As fine as you could wish!. No wheel slot or rhino slot tears.
Vividly-coloured backdrop for this model. Both end pull tabs are present. Box reverse has lots of information about the “Beetle”.
Note the period pencilled price.
The outer box is bright, and complete, with eye-catching graphics. Light wear includes a couple of tiny end flap seam tears.
Period pencilled price.
Model specific Leaflet included, too.
