This particular model was sold on ebay by George's Good Stuff in November 2006 for £199.99 in the following condition:
This beautiful and rarely offered Corgi model is in absolutely stunning mint perfect condition, you won't find better than this anywhere, it's an absolute beauty, and it comes in its equally superb rare non-picture original box which is showing some light age wear, but overall very crisp, clean and bright and 100 per cent complete - very nice indeed!
These are hardly ever offered anywhere for sale, certainly not in this great condition - don't miss out on this extremely scarce collectible!
