Notes
A very popular Corgi model – this example has a fine and gleaming scarlet paint finish. The left-hand drive version has a bright & fresh detailed bonnet label (tiny rub), complete door numbers and “Nairobi” label (tiny wear). Shiny chrome bumpers, wheels, baseplate, and sparkling jewelled headlights.
It comes complete with rhino, as well as the white card packing piece and the yellow card packing piece that fits over the wheel on the roof. Note this is the first version (we surmise) with the full circular card ring on the roof. Most often found with the card ring with a cut-out to lift off the wheel on the roof.
The colourful card plinth on which car and rhino sit is an attractive display piece. Looks like old shop-stock. Hard to imagine better!
Box reverse has lots of information about the “Beetle”.
The outer box is bright and complete, with eye-catching graphics. Crisp and fresh looking as if it has rarely been handled. Very faint storage marking on the box underside in one small area.
Model specific Leaflet as well as the Corgi Club Membership Form and packing card included.
Very nice!
