Notes
Issued between 1966-69, this Oldsmobile car has a gleaming, deep purple-blue finish, bright, fresh and complete bonnet logo, bright chrome parts (tiny marking ), detailed cast wheels. If you press the roof periscope the figure moves from side to side to shoot the enemy! This is the second issue with plastic chromed spotlights (to dazzle the enemy!). Fine tread, well-shaped, original tyres with ‘Corgi Toys’ embossed.
Small mark on the front bumper. Couple of tiny dots besides. Merits a box!
