Notes
A very popular Corgi model – this is a quite wonderful and complete example in all original condition. Careful handling only. This left-hand drive model has a perfect detailed bonnet label, door numbers, virtually perfect “Nairobi” label, and a gleaming red paint finish, chrome bumpers, wheels, baseplate and sparkling jewelled headlights!
Note that this particular version has a complete card piece which fits over the wheel on the roof, often these cars have a cut-out piece. All original of course.
This example comes complete with rhino, white card wrap-around packing piece and the Instruction leaflet incorporating a Corgi Club Membership Form.
The colourful card plinth on which car and rhino sit is a most attractive display piece.

Vividly-coloured backdrop with no tears at wheel slots.
Both end pull tabs are present. Card is crisp and clean. MInor seam separation at one side immediately above one of the pull-out tags.
The outer box is bright and complete.
