Description



























The Beatles Corgi 803 Yellow Submarine.

This was the first edition and tied into the Animated Film in 1968.

This has the white and yellow hatches which were soon replaced with red hatches.

 Very collectable in it's 1st original Box with plastic molding still complete after all these years.

No tears to the cardboard and no cracks to the plastic cellophane on the front of the box.

There are a few small cracks to the plastic molding that holds the Submarine, but that is to be expected as it will be 50 years old next year (should have sold it then perhaps?) and these were kids toys and were not built to last. Almost like the flimsy cardboard innerbox holding the Get Back book in place in the Let it be box sets.

Unplayed with and looks and feels fresh mint. There is a small paint blemish at the front which can be seen in the picture which needs to be mentioned but otherwise mint.

Hatches close tightly and squarely too.

Can't really get any better than this.

- "One thing is certain, very, very few survive. Over the last five years of auctions at Vectis, only 43 Yellow Submarines have come up for sale; a tiny number in itself. Of those, only five have had white and yellow hatches. Bearing this in mind, if and when you find one and pays your money, you won’t get much change out of £1,000 for a minter." (Modelcollector)
