Description: Here we offer the classic Sixties toy-- a genuine and original Corgi Chitty Chitty Bang Bang flying car from 1967 in very good condition. It comes with a custom-made fantasy box and a bright collection of ephemera. Complete with jeweled lanterns, jeweled headlights, and jeweled red tail lights, mechanical wings, and removable front and back "stabilizer" wings, wonderful details (spare tire, snake bulb horn, brake handle--that operates the wing-release perfectly--spoked wheels, chrome muffler and exhaust train...,) and a full family of characters, this beautiful car has never been rebuilt or touched-up. The girl character and the stabilizer wings are high-quality reproduction parts, and the car has minor playwear (please see pics). This classic Corgi originally came in an oversized box, stuffed with a brittle plastic cloud. Many Corgi 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,) I've included here a limited-edition, very high quality "fantasy" box in the style of the older Corgi boxes, without the ungainly plynth or plastic window, but using the Chitty graphics --a very stylish accessory this addition to your collection deserves--and something you will only find here. The box is wide enough and sturdy, so that Chitty can display on top, with the main box graphics showing (there are 2 different graphic sides.)Also included with your purchase is a wonderful collection of ephemera to compliment your Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car: A display description of the actual vehicle, which is a replica of the plate at England's Beaulieu Motor Museum; a copy of Ian Fleming's first page draft manuscript for the book that inspired the movie; a repro Corgi Model Club application and mini-version of the certificate they issued; instructions, and a "fantasy" Corgi sticker of the type they provided the Batmobile and James Bond's Aston Martin DB5. This wonderful car will make a great addition to a classic Corgi collection or a very special gift for a very special boy or girl (free laminated Corgi-Chitty bookmark included!)
