Notes
We believe the decision to produce this model with green base and bumpers was a last minute decision at Corgi. Note the in-house obliteration of the word ‘plated’ on the window box reverse – and indeed the model image on the box reverse does look as if the bumpers and base are plated.
A First for QDT – this is a near-impossible find in red with a red interior and green base/bumpers.
Complete ‘Flower Power’ labels (light wear), this great little car from Corgi gets noticed! Close to mint condition with bright and complete paper labels throughout (little wear to front edge of bonnet labels now).
Whizzwheels.
Close to mint (several little marks). Note too what appears to be a stray extra piece of clear plastic on the inside of the passenger side window.
Early style red and yellow window box is complete with intact original cellophane. Small handling tear to an end flap.
