Manny's Vintage Mintage presents
The Corgi Batmobile edition for sale here is HALF A CENTURY OLD.
It is the version Corgi manufactured in 1973 - read the following
FIRST VERSION 1966-1969 came in a non-window box with an inner display plinth,
and had three variations in the first 3 years:
variation A was matte [non-reflecting] black paint
variation B was glossy black, and stayed so forever after
variation C added a permanent tow hook to the rear exhaust, for the BatBoat introduced in 1967
SECOND VERSION 1970-1972 came in a window box,
and no longer had red Bat-symbols on the hubcaps,
Future versions would not have them either
(even though box blurbs continued to mention it)
variation A and B boxes differed slightly
variation C had the rare RED Rubber tires
THIRD VERSION 1973-1975 used WHIZZWHEELS
NOTHING about this item is restoration, repainting, or reproduction, including the box, which is the ORIGINAL
and has no tears in the cellophane window, nor any flaps missing [see detail pics from every angle]

Due to many requests, I have enrolled in eBay's GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM (GSP) so that buyers OUTSIDE THE USA can have access to purchasing my items.
IMPORTANT: if you wish to buy more than one of my items and have them ship together, WRITE TO ME FIRST before doing anything and tell me which items you want, and I will make a custom listing just for you that includes all of them for the agreed combined sale price.
DON'T click the Buy It Now buttons on the various items first, because the GSP DOES NOT ALLOW COMBINED SHIPPING OF MULTIPLE SALES in the GSP cart!!!
REMEMBER, you can make a Best Offer if you think the price is too rich for you.
I have 'automatic offer rejections' TURNED OFF, which means i will see and consciously consider every offer..
(doesn't mean I will accept, tho')
Assuming I have other items you also want at time of this purchase that are allowed to ship Media Mail, do the Buy It Now [BIN] on each of the items you want and PLEASE WAIT for Combined Shipping Invoice - I may be able to trim shipping downwards somewhat when items ship in the same package.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I will answer any other questions of concern/fact by looking at the actual item I am selling
