Notes
A very popular Corgi model – this example is in all original, very close to perfect condition, with a fine and gleaming scarlet paint finish. The left-hand drive version has a notably complete detailed bonnet label, complete door numbers and “Nairobi” label. Chrome bumpers, wheels, baseplate, and sparkling jewelled headlights.
One little mark at a wheel arch and a very light crease j the "Nairobi’ label (only visible under magnification).
It comes complete with rhino, as well as the white card wrap-around packing piece and the* yellow card packing piece that fits over the wheel on the roof*.
The colourful card plinth on which car and rhino sit is a most attractive display piece. Crisp, as-new feel to the undamaged card. Note the small area of separation to the front edge of the card plinth.
Vividly-coloured backdrop with no tears at wheel slots. Both end pull tabs are present. Box reverse has lots of information about the “Beetle”.
The outer box is exceptionally crisp, clean and fresh-looking. Tiny fleck of surface loss at an end flap. Resistant end flaps show that this box has been opened a mere couple of times – ever. Period price at an end flap.
Model specific Leaflet and card packing included, too.
