Notes
A rare version of this sought-after Corgi model with shaped spun wheels.
The car has a pleasing, rich purplish-blue finish, complete original bonnet label and chromed plastic spotlights.
Model functions perfectly (depress the button on the roof for the figures to ‘shoot’ the enemy!).
The original ring is included (both faces of Napoleon Solo and Ilya Kuriakin may be seen, vari-view).
Just a few tiny marks to the paint finish and slight age transparency to the bonnet label.
The colourful card plinth with orange-red centre panel is clean and bright, with a few minor wheel slot tears/slot for the ring. Original card packing piece within the plinth base.
The colourfully illustrated card box too is bright and complete. Minor age/handling wear. Period price labels on an end flap.
Note the period publicity at the time shows the model with shaped spun wheels (Pictured in The Great Book of Corgi).
