The Corgi Model Club re-issue of the VW1200 Beetle in East African Safari Rally finish is a superb production. It is very accurate and some will find it hard to distinguish from the original. Only the base really gives the game away, and, possibly, the fact that the finish is almost too precise with none of the minor blemishes we see on the 1960s models.

This is totally mint and as delivered to me. I opened one just to take photographs but the one you receive will be opened only once to check it is all there and it will have a different certificate number.

The rhino is, of course, included and I can well imagine that this, together with the plinth will be appearing as 'original' before long as they don't have any obvious Chinese origin. The outer box seems a bit faded but all the Club issues are the same and it is a very close copy of the original, just one or two changes to the text and the one panel with the more modern data.

A super item that I am sure will be much sought after in years to come.
