Notes
Issued between 1966-69, this Oldsmobile car has a gleaming, deep purple-blue finish, complete bonnet logo (fresh and bright), bright chrome parts, detailed cast wheels. Fine original tyres. If you press the roof periscope the figure moves from side to side to shoot the enemy. This is the version with plastic chromed spotlights (to dazzle the enemy!).
In very close to mint condition. Couple of tiny marks (if you hunt for them!) and minor wear to the roof button finish.
Often lost or even replaced with a copy, this Thrushbuster comes with its original Waverley ring. Changing image on the ring face of Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin.
The clean and fresh-looking card plinth (version with red section on base) is complete and bright. Minor ruffling at wheels slots and the occasioanl tiny tear.
Lots of info about the U.N.C.L.E organisation on box reverse as well as pictures and signatures of the T.V. series protagonists.
The outer box is complete and bright. A little age/handling wear including a very small tear.
