Notes
Issued between 1966-69, this Oldsmobile car has a gleaming, deep purple-blue finish, complete bonnet logo ( fresh and bright), bright chrome parts, detailed cast wheels. Fine original tyres. If you press the roof periscope the figure moves from side to side to shoot the enemy! . This is the version with plastic chromed spotlights (to dazzle the enemy!).
Occasional minor mark only.
So often lost or replaced with a copy, this Thrushbuster comes with its original Waverley ring. Changing image on the ring face of Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin.
The clean and fresh-looking card plinth (version with red section on base) vibrant colours on clean card. Couple of minor wheel slot tears.
of info about the U.N.C.L.E organisation on box reverse as well as pictures and signatures of the T.V. series protagonists.
The outer box is bright and complete, looking fresh and clean. A little end crumple. Very minor wear besides. Corgi Club Membership Form.
