C808
Corgi 808 Basil Brush & His Car. Very near mint/boxed. Complete with unused Sound Box & Laugh Tapes. From The Somerset Collection.
Notes
A popular Corgi model made between 1971-1973 and part of the ‘Corgi Comics’ range of models. The inimitable Basil Brush character is seated inside his bright red and yellow car. In unused condition with just one little black mark on the back of the seat.
Inside the box is a crisp, bright and clean, unused ‘Sound Box’ containing intact laugh tapes. An ambitious idea from Corgi: the pieces of tape inside are meant to sound like Basil’s laughter when the instructions are followed.
The colourfully illustrated outer box is complete, clean and fresh, including the pictorial inner stand.
Close to pristine in fact, with intact origibal cellophane. No graffiti or tears. Crisp card.
Becoming difficult to find in this condition.
An excellent investment piece.
