This particular model was sold on ebay by George's Good Stuff in May 2006 for £773 in the following condition:
Everything is fully working, front and rear, and the model comes complete with the SEALED original instructions leaflet and secret instructions envelope - very very rare to find this unopened on this model! - containing the leaflet and all four original orange spinners and all four original front missiles.

This wonderful TV-related collectable is in immaculate condition - apart from what looks like a very very faint factory flaw on one side door (one of my photos on the right shows a close-up of this, so you can see just how negligible and barely noticeable this is), there isn't a mark on it anywhere, it's an absolute beauty - like most collectors I'd class this as in perfect pristine museum quality condition, I doubt there's a better example than this anywhere.

Its box is equally fantastic, very crisp, clean and bright and 100 per cent original and complete - the inner is perfect, the outer unmarked, with a couple of original toyshop price labels on one end, one of the best boxes I have seen anywhere for this particular model.

Also present is an original Corgi Model Club leaflet, plus the original inner protective card packing and, rarest of all, the original slip of shiny paper that rested on the roof to protect it - I can't recall seeing this included in any other examples of this model sold on ebay, or anywhere else for that matter, and it confirms that this is a pristine, shop stock item that has never been played with.
