Notes

It has been a while since we have offered this particular version for sale. A sought-after Corgi model; this is the earliest version of the Thrushbuster in deep purplish-blue, with metal spotlights. This Oldsmobile model has a complete original paper label on the bonnet.
In unused, virtually mint condition!

Model functions perfectly.
Just the occasional negligible mark and minor age transparency to the bonnet label.
The original Waverley ring is included too (does not appear to have ever been removed from the plinth and has much of the gold hued remaining (unusually).
The monochrome base issue card plinth is clean and bright, with just one tiny wheel slot tear and a couple of light creases. Colourful graphics.

Reverse:

The outer box is fresh and bright. Tiny wear only. Crisp feel.
Both * card rings* which fit over the top of the roof button are included. Card packing piece too. Corgi Club Membership Form.
