Notes
Always an exciting Corgi toy – and it has been a while since we have had this particular version for sale. This issue has a lustrous black finish, complete with both seated figures of Batman and Robin, intact straight aerial and bright bat logos on both sides. Intact chrome dashboard, bright gold tow hook. Correct that this issue has a fixed flame detail (earlier issues had a pulsating flame effect). 8 spoke narrow whizzwheels and the palest blue screens (almost clear in fact).
In virtually mint condition. Note the lack of suspension on the wheels – model still sits evenly. Note that the seating unit incorporated the front and rear suspension arms which were very often installed with the arms pointing upwards, thus giving no suspension. Common factory fault with the se later issues.
The outer box is complete, bright and clean with intact, smooth original cellophane and a bright yellow intact inner. Close to shop-fresh. Version without Swedish Age Recommendation on the top surface.
No badge or instructions would have been included with this version. Correct that a sprue of 10 missiles are included.
