Notes
A very popular Corgi model! This right-hand drive model has a complete and very fresh-looking original bonnet label. complete door numbers, “Nairobi” label at the rear has the tiniest of corner nicks.. A gleaming scarlet red paint finish, chrome bumpers, wheels, and baseplate. Note that this slightly later issue has silver headlight detail (earlier issue has jewelled headlights). Original, as-new tyres.
With original deep grey rhino.
Marking to the paint finish mostly at wheel arches.
No card rings with this example.
It does come with the original white card wrap-around packing piece, and 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 wheel slot wear. Very crisp, clean and fresh, although note a tiny handling tear emanating from one of the little end flaps.
Both end pull tabs are present and intact.
The outer box is bright, clean and crisp. Very attractive example. Note the very small tear at an end flap. Very minor wear besides. Tiny fleck of surface loss.*
