ii) Trailer is in very close to mint condition. All original paint finish.

iii) Corgi 104 Dolphin Cabin Cruiser is in fresh, bright and clean condition, with a complete label (without the usual age transparency thankfully). Includes original Captain figure, intact outboard motor and propellor.
This tows the original skier on the original plastic water scene attachment. Some evidence of glue around the small holes for the skier to be affixed (at one time it seems the skier had been glued into position).
Complete.

Colourful card stand is clean, crisp and fresh with vivid colours.
Both pull-out tabs are present and tear-free. Original sellotape still in situ.

The outer box with its wonderfully atmospheric artwork is deeply-coloured and clean. Note the slit puncture on one side. Small scuff and a little area of surface loss on an end flap.
Light wear.
