Notes
A sought-after item from Corgi in the scarce cream finish and made for just for one year only (1966). Usual colour finish is metallic blue.
This particular example is in very close to mint condition with a fine and pleasing cream finish with a notably complete and bright bonnet logo. Please note that this is a completely authentic example, correct that it does not have a bonnet cast square immediately surrounding the bonnet label (only the metallic blue version has this casting detail).
Looking like new, but do note that there are two little marks to the paint finish.
This example comes with the original Waverley ring and the card packing ring which fits over the roof button. Original wrap around card packing piece is also present (so often missing).
The inner card stand is crisp with very bright strong colours. Minor wear only.
Lots of information on the UNITED NETWORK COMMAND FOR LAW AND ENFORCEMENT (U.N.C.L.E.) on box plinth reverse:
The outer box is extremely crisp, vivid and fresh. One of the best you will find.
A rare t.v. inspired Corgi item in complete and authentic condition, issued for a very limited time.
