Corgi 803
Corgi 803 The Beatles Yellow Submarine. Red hatches issue. Near mint plus/boxed. From The Berlin Collection.
Notes
A sought-after Corgi model in original condition with all four figures of John, Paul, George and Ringo.
Red hatches issue.
Transfers are complete save for just one which has a portion missing. The periscope is undamaged, rotating when the model is pushed along.Notably intact plastic propellor, too.
Little rub/chip to one exposed edge and a couple of tiny marks besides.
The deep blue moulded plastic inner has a tiny split – this type of plastic becomes so fragile and brittle over time, so often found with damage. This one has fared better than most.
Box colours are fresh and vivid with lots of atmospheric artwork. Crisp feel. Usual crease where the header card section meets the main body of the box. As is so often the case, there is a small puncture to the cellophane window. Light wear besides. Period price label and a shop stamp on an end flap.
