Notes
A popular Corgi model made between 1971-1973 and part of the ‘Corgi Comics’ range of models. The inimitable Basil Brush character is seated inside his bright red and yellow car. In unused condition with just one little mark at a wheel arch (easily overlooked).
Red plastic wheels and as-new original ‘Corgi Toys’ embossed tyres.
Inside the box is a crisp, bright and clean (light crumple),‘Sound Box’ containing intact laugh tapes. An ambitious idea from Corgi: the pieces of tape inside are meant to sound like Basil’s laughter when the instructions are followed.
The colourfully illustrated outer box has quite a crisp feel. Note the small section missing (cut out) on the box underside. Original cellophane has a small split. Minor wear besides.
