C803
Corgi 803 The Beatles Yellow Submarine. Scarce white & yellow hatch issue. Very near mint /boxed with Corgi Shopkeeper's Price Label. Rare model from The MBU Collection.
Notes
A sought-after Corgi model in original condition with all four figures of John, Paul, George and Ringo.
Harder to find version with one yellow and one white hatch. First we have offered for sale in a long while.
Transfers are notably complete and the periscope is undamaged, rotating when the model is pushed along. Hatches open and close well.
Little ‘graze’ to the white section probably factory assembly ( this model looks completely unused) and close study shows three factory dabs of paint to the white section and a couple on the yellow too.
The box is complete, with a deep blue inner – these moulded plastic inners are always so easily split – delighted to say that this one is fine!
Box colours are so fresh and vivid with lots of atmospheric artwork. Not even the usual light crease where the header card section meets the main body of the box! Original cellophane has a little tear -and very light wear besides. Nice touch – this item includes the original little printed Corgi Shopkeeper’s Price Label.
