C497

Notes
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.
Model functions perfectly and certainly gives the impression of unsold, old shop stock.
Mere dot or two if you really want to fault it.
The original Waverley ring is included – and does not appear to have ever been removed from the card plinth.
The colourful card plinth with monochrome base in outstanding fresh condition – difficult even to prise the display section open in order to view. So rare to find this fresh.
The outer box is surely one of the nicest Corgi boxes we have ever seen! Crisp, clean and day-one bright. Silky feel to the barely handled card.
Packing ring which fits over the top of the roof button is included, along with the wrap-around packing piece and Corgi Club Membership Form. All of these accessories look completely as-new!
