Notes
A very popular Corgi model – this right-hand drive version is in all original, close to mint condition, with a fine and gleaming scarlet paint finish. Notably complete detailed bonnet label (very light wear), complete door numbers and “Nairobi” label. Unmarked chrome bumpers, wheels, baseplate, and sparkling jewelled headlights. Rhino.
Just a few minor marks to the paint finish.
The colourful card plinth on which car and rhino sit is a most attractive display piece. Crisp, fresh card.

Box reverse has lots of information about the “Beetle”.
The outer box is crisp, bright, and complete, with eye-catching graphics. Lots of end flap spring. White label on an end flap. Small pen mark and very light wear.
