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 a couple of very minor marks only.
Red plastic wheels and as-new original ‘Corgi Toys’ embossed tyres.
Inside the box is a crisp, bright and clean ‘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 looks very fresh and crisp. Original cellophane is intact. Period dollar price at an end flap. Only the most minor wear.
