Notes
An exciting iconic T.V inspired Corgi model – issued between 1968-72. Note this particular version has no driver figure and it is impossible for the driver to have been removed. A rare find! In close to mint, all original condition. Shaped spun wheel issue. Delicate roof logo is intact.
Radiator can be closed fully (but will sometimes not close flush, as is nearly always the case).
Minor tarnishing to chrome in some places. Suspension. Barely a mark to the paint finish.
This example comes with the Instruction Packet (opened) with Instructions, four missiles and four spinners. Working functions!
The very attractive inner card stand has lots of atmospheric graphics. It is crisp, bright and clean. Shop-fresh quality.
Reverse:
The outer box is clean, crisp and colourfully illustrated. Small area of surface loss on an end flap.
With card packing piece.
