Notes
Issued between 1966-69, this Oldsmobile car has a gleaming, deep purple-blue finish, complete, clean and fresh bonnet logo (so often discoloured), bright chrome parts, detailed cast wheels. Fine original tyres. With original Waverley Ring. If you press the roof periscope the figure moves from side to side to shoot the enemy! A sought-after Corgi model; this is the early version of the Thrushbuster with metal spotlights (to dazzle the enemy!).
In very close to mint condition.
Very minor marking head-on and the occasional negligible mark besides.
We are being extra-fussy here.
The clean and bright monochrome card plinth has barely any wear.
Lots of info about the U.N.C.L.E organisation on box reverse as well as pictures and signatures of the T.V. series protagonists.
The outer box is bright, clean and complete. Crisp feel to the smooth, silky rarely handled card. Tiniest wear
With all 3 card packing pieces.
