This particular model was sold on ebay by George's Good Stuff in May 2006 for £166 in the following condition:
This beautiful Corgi model is in immaculate mint condition, I've not seen better than this anywhere, and it comes in its equally superb original box which is very crisp, very clean and very bright, 100 per cent complete and also contains the rare original instructions leaflet - very nice indeed!
All in all, an absolutely fantastic example of one of Corgi's best-looking mid-60s models, very rarely seen these days and very rarely offered as immaculate as this, and a must for any serious collector!
