Corgi 267

Notes

Rare to come to the market place, this is an authentic example with original red tyres. Always an exciting Corgi toy, this high gloss example comes with both authentic figures of Batman and Robin. It has a bright chrome cockpit and launch tubes. Intact blue tinted glass. Original aerial. With gold tow hook and metal parts. Correct that this version has a fixed (not pulsating) flame. Wheels are correct without the bat logos. Version with shiny chromed centres and red tyres. The original red tyres run well with no flat spots.

Original paint finish has a few minor marks head-on, a mere dot at the rear and a tiny mark or two besides.
Presented in the scarce slim blue and yellow window box. Looking fresh, clean and bright, note that this is the correct blue and yellow window box version with no mention of ‘Replacement tyres’ and correct with ‘Patent Application..’ Other differences too, including ‘The right is reserved to improve and amend specification and colours’.

Colour vibrancy, particularly of the colourful box reverse picture, is noteworthy. Light wear includes minor edge ruffling at end flaps and a tiny tear emanating from an end flap and visible in the picture of the box underside. Lightly pencilled period price at an end flap.

White card inner is complete and intact.
The original cellophane is intact too.
The Secret Instruction Packet has been carefully opened and inside you will find the Instruction Leaflet with a wealth of Batman-related information on the reverse, original cloth badge and incomplete sprue of missiles (with 6 included).

An exceptionally difficult model to find.
