C268
Corgi 268 The Green Hornet's 'Black Beauty'. Near mint/boxed. Scarce with cast wheels. Harder to find box version. From 'The Monty Calme' Corgi Collection.
Notes
Always a stunning item on display, this particular example with cast detailed wheels, has a lustrous close to mint paint finish with a complete and perfect detailed roof transfer.
Suspension is no longer present on three wheels. The front radiator grille sits well. Little area of factory underspray at the boot rear edge. Occasional negligible mark to the paint finish.
The colourfully illustrated inner card stand is vivid, crisp and fresh.
No wheel slot tears. Tiny wear only.
The card box is the more difficult version to find – with pictures identical on both faces. Bright with all end flaps intact. Very nice example with minor age/handling wear only. Shopkeeper’s period price on one box face.
Secret Instruction Packet contains three spinners, three harpoons and the all important secret instructions!
