Notes

A very popular Corgi model – this is a quite wonderful and complete example in all original condition. Careful handling only. This left-hand drive model has a perfect detailed bonnet label, door numbers, virtually perfect “Nairobi” label, and a gleaming red paint finish, chrome bumpers, wheels, baseplate and sparkling jewelled headlights!

Note that this particular version has a complete card piece which fits over the wheel on the roof, often these cars have a cut-out piece. All original of course.
This example comes complete with rhino, white card wrap-around packing piece and the Instruction leaflet incorporating a Corgi Club Membership Form.

The colourful card plinth on which car and rhino sit is a most attractive display piece.

Quite a crisp feel to the card. Tiniest start of a tear at an end flap (being extra critical here). Little handling grubbiness. Period penned price at an end flap.
