This is the second version of the model with mechanical pulsating jet exhaust, the red Bat-logo hubs, the mechanical chain slasher, triple missile launcher, and tow hook.  This Batmobile has had some damage near the beacon, as you can see one of the silver "indicators" is missing and the beacon cage has been reattached.  Otherwise, the car has not been repaired or touched-up.  Please inspect the close-up photos for minor playwear. Batman's windshield has some hairline cracks, the suspension is flat, and the antenna is missing. Robin character is a very high-quality reproduction part.

This classic Corgi originally came in an oversized box, stuffed with a plynth--a fanciful display stand that wilted over time. Many collectors have a particular affection for the traditional Corgi box, which the toy store owner would retrieve by referencing the number displayed on its end flap, removing it from a glass-doored cabinet that was stacked high with boxes. You'd open the end flap, and the heavy car would roll into your palm.

That said, rather than including a faithful repro box, (which can be easily purchased cheaply on eBay,) I've included here a "fantasy" box in the style of the older Corgi boxes, without the ungainly plynth or plastic window, but using the Batmobile graphics --a very stylish accessory this addition to your collection deserves--and something you will only find here. This high-quality box is wide enough so that the Batmobile can display on top, with the main box graphics showing. All other Corgi Batmobile graphics for this model are included among the instructions.

Also included with your purchase is a wonderful collection of ephemera to compliment your Corgi Batmobile:  Batmobile instructions & envelope; Batmobile owner's badge (a paper peel-off sticker,) 2 different Corgi Batmobile promo cards, copy of the US patent for George Barris's classic Batmobile design, a corgi club offer plus miniature certificate, and, of course, 4 missiles--these are all repro or fantasy parts.

This item will make a splendid addition to a classic Corgi collection or a very special gift for a very special boy (free laminated Batbookmark and signed snapshot of Batman and the Boy Wonder included!)
