Notes

It has been a long time since we have offered this particular version with yellow wheels.

A very detailed and pleasing item from Corgi as part of their Corgi Comics range, issued 1969-72. It has all the moving figures of Popeye, Olive Oyl, Swee’Pea, Bluto and Wimpey, with the original little card packing piece still in situ. It works perfectly – as you push the model along the figures of Bluto and Wimpey go up and down whilst Popeye moves from side to side as he scans the horizon, and Olive Oyl sways from side to side as she drives along! A delightful item which has remained completely untouched – complete with its cans of spinach and paper labels still attached!
Little Swee’Pea is safely stowed in the life boat, which can be dropped down – both plastic attachments are absolutely fine on this example. The labels are complete, clean and fresh-looking and both jewelled headlights are present. The chimney has been protected by the little original card packing piece (the chrome finish has tiny rubbing).

Little chip on one of the wheel arches and a few small marks besides.

The cellophane-fronted window box looks is bright. Fitted with replacement cellophane at some time.
Lovely colour scene on box reverse. Light wear and a very small end flap edge tear. .
Three polystyrene packing pieces are still in place. Pristine. Little original white card packing piece which fits over the chimney.
The inner card display piece is crisp, clean and bright. Corgi Club Membership Form is included, too.

A wonderful example and guaranteed to bring a smile to your face – every time!
