ARRIVING in ‘mint-plus’ condition from a shop clearance with its box and display stand, this Corgi Green Hornet Black Beauty Crime Fighting Car accelerated beyond hopes of £200-300 at East Bristol Auctions (18% buyer’s premium) on January 28.
The US TV series of the superhero began in 1966 and, although the show was never screened in the UK, the Corgi Toys No 268 model, produced from 1967-71, was a big hit with British buyers, home sales outselling export models.
