Notes
Gives the impression that the model was stored away for decades,never used, outer box discarded. Condition is therefore virtually flawless and surely deserves an outer box!
A sought-after Corgi model.
The Oldsmobile Super 88 Gun-Firing Man From UNCLE Thrushbuster car has a rich, deep purple-blue paint finish, shiny chrome parts including the roof button, and a complete, fresh and clean original paper label on the bonnet. Cast wheels.
Model functions perfectly.
The original Waverley Ring is included too.
Very, very nice!
The colourful card plinth is complete and bright with a little minor wear/ruffling at some wheel slots. Occasional very small wheel slot tear. Version with a orange-red central panel over which the car is placed.
Plenty of information on plinth reverse.
Colourful card ring which fits over the top of the roof button as well as the original card packing piece.
If only we had the outer box!
