Notes
Another sought-after Corgi model from this collector.
The car has a rich, deep purple-blue paint finish, shiny chrome parts and a complete original paper label on the bonnet.
Model functions perfectly.
The original Waverley Ring is included too.
Couple of very small marks to the paint head-on, and very minor wear to the bonnet label (light crease and minor discolouration).
The colourful card plinth is very crisp, fresh and bright, with barely any wear. 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, with only minor age/handling wear.
Both inner packing rings which fit over the top of the roof button are included, along with the wrap-around card packing and Corgi Club Membership Form.
