Notes

A most desirable Corgi set – so difficult to find in this pristine condition! Straight from a private collection and looking as if the contents have been taken out of the crisp, shop-fresh box a couple of times ever!

The set comprises:

1) Batmobile in gleaming gloss black finish with both original figures of Batman and Robin. Tow hook version. Bright red ‘bat’ wheels, gleaming chrome, bright gold parts. Correct that this version (being the last made with the desirable bat wheels) has less pointed rear fins and very bright gold parts. Looks as-new!

If one is being really extra critical, one could point out a tiny mark or two at a fin where the polystyrene has been in contact.

2) Batboat is still banded to the gold trailer with cast wheels. Complete with both seated figures of Batman and Robin. More desirable ‘tin fin’ version (later issues were plastic). Another shop-fresh item!

Complete with a bright unopened Secret Instruction Packet which contains missiles, badge and Instructions.
Both items sit in a shop-fresh polystyrene inner. Outstanding – since these are so prone to discolouration and tend to crumble with the passage of time.

The colourful outer box is in remarkable fresh and bright condition with smooth, original unpunctured cellophane.

The box reverse is particularly attractive with full colour, vibrant art work which complements the set beautifully:

Surely one of the best surviving examples!
