Notes
One of the sought-after Batman Gift Sets, this late version (copyright 1976) is presented in the header-card window box. No graffiti. Intact cellophane window. Small tear.
This set comprises:
1) Corgi 267 Batmobile with both original seated figures of Batman and Robin. This model is a particularly scarce find with the black Whizzwheels. The same style as specifically made for the red Whizzwheel version, so smooth outer rim. An earlier version that would not be present in this set. Intact blue screens. Suspension. Fixed tow hook. Bright Bat logos at both sides of the Batmobile. Intact original aerial.
Light rubs at some exposed edges and the occasional tiny chip.
2) Batboat is the correct later version with plastic fin. Intact blue screens. Bright paper labels including the bat labels on the fin (minor wear). Gold trailer has the correct later whizzwheels. In very near mint condition. Complete paper labels on both sides of the boat – most minor age wear only.
Both items are housed in the original, intact, fresh and clean polystyrene inner.
Operating Instructions on this late issue were printed on the underside of the outer box.
