Notes

A rare version of this sought-after Corgi model; only the second we have ever handled with shaped spun wheels and metal spotlights.
The car has a pleasing, rich purplish-blue finish, clean and fresh-looking original bonnet label and 1st issue metal spotlights.
Model functions perfectly (depress the button on the roof for the figures to ‘shoot’ the enemy!).
