Corgi 802

Notes

A very detailed and pleasing item from Corgi as part of their Corgi Comics range (1969-72). This is the version with white wheels. It has all the moving figures of Popeye, Olive Oyl, Swee’Pea, Bluto and Wimpey. As you push the model along the figures of Bluto and Wimpey go up and down whilst Popeye moves from side to side as he scans the horizon, and Olive Oyl sways from side to side as she drives along! A delightful item – complete with its cans of spinach and paper labels still attached!
Little Swee’Pea is safely stowed in the life boat, which can be dropped down – both plastic attachments are absolutely fine on this example. The labels are complete and very fresh, both jewelled headlights are present. The chimney is intact and the chrome finish is unrubbed.
Looks as if the model has rarely been removed from its box (certainly never played with).

Barely a mark!
The cellophane-fronted window box comes with 1 polystyrene packing piece at one end and the length of polystyrene in the base of the card plinth. As is so often the case with these relatively fragile window boxes, the cellophane has been carefully replaced at some time. Light age/handling wear and a small repaired tear to one edge of the inner. Couple of small part-punctures nearby.
The inner card display piece is crisp, clean and bright. Corgi Club Membership Form.

Guaranteed to bring a smile to your face – every time!
