Notes
Seeking out the unusual variations, the East Anglian Collector of Dinky and Corgi models may have items to fill some of the gaps in your collection. We are pleased to bring this collection to the market place.
It has been a long time indeed since we have offered this particular version for sale.
This Fab 1 model has a gleaming rose pink paint finish and a rare find with this black interior. Jewelled headlights. FAB 1 numberplate beneath the radiator (not at the rear). Both figures of Lady Penelope and Parker are seated inside. Correct canopy for this late issue i.e. no pink lines. Note the correct wheels for this variation too.
In all original condition. close inspection will find the occasional minor mark only.
The plinth is complete with excellent fresh colours. The original bag is taped to the base and contains the correct 2 yellow missiles as well as four red harpoons. It would appear that at some point, the packet was removed from the base (so causing an area of surface loss, and then taped back into place).
A little wear and (minor) tear at short lid sides caused by the insertion and removal of the tabs of the plastic bubble lid.
The clear plastic bubble lid is original and feeling quite pliable still. Light yellowing of the top section (reaction to light over the years). A few small splits at the lower section of the lid.
