C269
Corgi 269 James Bond Lotus Esprit. Rare late detachable header card version. Very, very near mint/boxed. From a most knowledgeable and enthusiastic collector in South London.
Notes
Usually found in the standard boxes with built in header cards, this item is in unused authentic condition – apparently never removed from its orange and yellow card insert (still firmly attached by means of the two original plastic clips). A bright and fresh example, this model comes complete with a full sprue of rockets. The outer box is very fresh, crisp and bright (minor wear only) as indeed is the number specific colour header card. Notably, the original cellophane is smooth and puncture-free. Faint remains of a price label.
A scarce later issue model – especially difficult to find in this condition.
