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!).
Couple of minor marks on the front bumper and a stray drip of factory silver immediately at the front edge.
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) has vibrant colours on clean card. A little of the usual wear at wheels slots.
Lots 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, clean and complete, Some age/handling wear. includes a small tear. Corgi Club Membership Form.
Nice to see that this example comes complete with both card rings and the card wrap-around piece too!
