This particular model was sold on ebay by George's Good Stuff in February 2006 for £29.99 in the following condition:
This beautiful and very hard to find early Corgi model is showing some marks, mostly the usual wear to the tiny raised edges, plus a few more obvious ones including rubs to the roof, but overall I’d say it is in excellent condition - a very nice example of a model that doesn’t appear very often anywhere for sale... you won’t find many on ebay!
It comes in its original box which is in absolutely superb near-perfect condition, showing only the slightest age wear but otherwise completely unmarked, overall crisp, clean, bright and 100 per cent complete, with all flaps and tuck-ins intact - very nice indeed!
