C803
Corgi 803 The Beatles Yellow Submarine. Scarce white & yellow hatch issue. Near mint plus/boxed. From The West London Collection.
Notes
A sought-after Corgi model in original condition with all four figures of John, Paul, George and Ringo.
Harder to find version with one yellow and one white hatch.
Transfers are complete except for one of the side transfers has a nick. The periscope is undamaged, rotating when the model is pushed along. Hatches open and close well.
Intact propellor too.
Couple of little marks to the paint finish.
The box is complete, with a deep blue inner – these moulded plastic inners are always so easily split – delighted to say that this one has just one small edge split.
Box colours are fresh and strongly-coloured with lots of atmospheric artwork. Just the usual light crease where the header card section meets the main body of the box. Original cellophane has a four tiny punctures. Light storage wear only to the card – no tears. Period shop price label at an end flap.
