Notes
A rare version of this sought-after Corgi model; only the second we have ever handled with shaped spun wheels and metal spotlights.
The car has a pleasing, rich purplish-blue finish, clean and fresh-looking original bonnet label and 1st issue metal spotlights.
Model functions perfectly (depress the button on the roof for the figures to ‘shoot’ the enemy!).
Few tiny dots to the paint finish.
The original ring is included (both faces of Napoleon Solo and Ilya Kuriakin may be seen, vari-view).
The colourful card plinth with scarlet centre panel is complete and bright, with only minor wear and tear at slots. Light creasing visible on the reverse of the ‘card wings’.
The colourfully illustrated card box is complete and bright. Light age/handling wear and note the penned writing on one box face. Period price is neatly penned on an end flap.
A very rare version with shaped spun wheels and metal spotlights.
