A truly outstanding example of this sought-after Corgi model; just about the nicest example we have had in a long while!

The car is absolutely gleaming; paint finish, all chrome parts, baseplate. Complete original paper label on the bonnet could not be bettered!
Functions perfectly.

The original ring is included – very bright and fresh too!

The colourful card plinth is very crisp, fresh and bright, with just a little wear and the occasional minor wheel slot tear. Version with a scarlet central panel over which the car is placed.

Plenty of information on plinth reverse:

The outer box too is clean, brightly-coloured and fresh – this example has been very carefully looked-after.
