Vintage 1966 Corgi Batmobile - No.267 - Complete - Unused - 

I had one when as a kid. My father bought dozens to sell in Brazil São Paulo. I remember to see at least fifty of them in our table home in their original boxes

The Holy Grail of Corgi Toys . Not everybody gets to experience it ! Despite the manufacture of around five million units , nothing beats the first issue , which remains one of the most iconic vehicles modelled . Lucky find !

I had this one as well. I got it for my ninth birthday in a set with the Bat Boat and trailer. It was beautiful. Your wife’s grand dad really left you a treasure.

God bless your Wife's Father and god rest him. The batmobile is great . A must have model

Fantastic piece ! I had this same car as a child … something to treasure.

The ultimate toy to have when I was 10. Great condition. I saw one in the eighties in the same condition and the asking price was about 350dolloars. Great to see this.

I had one of these as a boy and together with the Aston Martin DB5 and Man from Uncle car was a big favourite. There was also a smaller corgi junior version which I think had a cruder version of the flame exhaust. This is an amazing find and in such perfect condition for reasons you explain clearly.Thanks

I remember a kid in school had one of these (I think this was the mid 70's so maybe it was a later model version) I thought it was so amazing. Later, I asked my mom if she would buy me a Batmobile. One day she came home with a plastic batmobile that did nothing and looked cheap. I smiled and pretended I like it, thanked her and that was that.

My grandmother brought me one from England in '71 when I was 7 or 6yrs old. I worshipped it for years then reluctantly gave it away. When I was 18. For me just looking at it is pretty much a trip in a time-machine to see those details. It had great suspension and Robin kept falling out when I played with it. 💔👍

When I was a child we visited England in summer of 1968. I remember a few things when I was 7.5 yo. Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and passing by a newspaper store in London and seeing in the window probably what you have right there! It was singed in mind right there and then! 50 years ago this summer! Oh how I wished to have that Batmobile! This is exactly why out of all matchbox cars, I looked up this one!

Loved seeing this. I had this, and the batboat & trailer when i was a kid. You have a BEAUTIFUL specimen. Congratulations on owning this one. In the world of Corgi Batmobiles, man, she's what's known as "A KEEPER". 👍

Holy crap! That thing is worth some money! Wow.

I got one for Christmas when I was 10 or 11... and I have no idea what happened to it. Man... if I'd only had the foresight to hang on to it!!!

Great video and so much respect for just showing and not selling it because it belonged to grand dad. 🌎

Based on the tail fins, I would say it's a first edition. The first three releases were _almost_ identical, but the first issue had distinctive fins.

I had this in the 70's when I was little. So much detail & gadgetry that lack today

I sold one with the matt paint a few weeks ago. It was of the very first production. They change very quick to glossy. Pretty rare.

I remember playing with that model in 1973. It belonged to my uncle and I believe it had rubber tires and soft like suspension. But I was only 5 years old then and my memory fails me a bit.

I spent weeks in 1967 looking into a local shop, at that same model car... Hoping to save my pocket money of one shilling and three penny's a week so l could get it... It was £1, one shilling and six penny's.... I never got it in the end, but to this day l still remember leaning on the shop glass window looking in at it.... And dreaming of having. :)

Case in point. You can’t take anything with you when that time comes. Sorry for your loss and jealous of your new Batmobile.

I dig it. Finally one with the rockets. Great find, I've never seen one to 🚫

when I was about 7 yrs old in 1966, I asked Santa for one, but Santa passed this on to my Gran, who misread my Writing and did not understand what I was asking for, so on Xmas morning I got a Cicket Bat. Still confused nearly sixty years later. 😀

Noticed the reference to the TV 21 comic as well on the slip of paper. All these toys like Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet, Joe 90 were very popular in the 60's when I was nobut a nipper! 😄

It's amazing! I have one jist lile it only with everything with it, also the round and U-shaped cardboard protection with it. So beautiful.

My dad had this when he was a kid and he gave it to me when i was a kid. Still have it

I had this exact toy when I was a young lad. It was my favorite above all, and I would play with it constantly. Always kept my eye out for one, but at my age I wouldn't play with it, just keep it in a viewing case..lol Be Careful of the antenna, they always seem to be the first thing to break. Lost the rockets and I would always use thick toothpicks.

I had one in 1966! It was a fantastic toy. The thing that you weren't sure of is the red flame exhaust in the back. When the Batmobile rolls forward there is a linkage with the back axle to make the red flame move in and out. It was too cool. I suppose these days the kids would say that it was "sick."

I am surprised that nobody in the family wanted to purchase it, however if there is no emotional attachment to it or the Batman series itself, I may understand why. If my recollection serves me properly, there were several different versions of that Batmobile, whereas the early versions the flame did not move in and out, nor did the Batmobile come with the boat hitch, again if I remember correctly, it was the later years that kept adding new features to the toy, there was even one Batmobile that came out with fatter wider tires and even one with orange tires and one version with only chrome rims, why? I don’t truly know. I preferred The original version with the bat hub emblem on the rims.

I had one of these to when i was about 4 or 5 years old i think.Amazing to be this shape complete with a box.This model is worth some big $$$$$ for sure.

Its amazing how much these are worth and in that kind of pristine condition ! 😲

Great toy thanks for sharing your find. Treasure it

The flame at the back moved in and out a tiny bit when rolled, for a while at least.

Fabulous, I remember that I lost a front tyre from mine in a sandpit and didn't know that it was possible to buy replacements. I was very young ! Gloss paint indicates second generation at the earliest but still from a long time ago. 😎😎😎

I had this one ,the boat and trailer too. also the corgi chitty chitty bang bang.

2 nd. version Very cool though and mint condition

I had one of these when I was 5 years old. Think it was a cousin's previously. Also had The Black Beauty (Green Hornet).

It's wise not to sell it. Any collector would give their right arm for it, but then you'd lose owning this treasure, something you're likely to never come across again.

For those of you interested, they do make excellent looking reproduction boxes and even reproduction Batmobile’s in that series look. As for pricing? Only a true collector, would pay a hefty price for truly an original, I’ve learned when you pay a lot of money for a collectible, it’s not as easy to sell later on, because the pricing is determined on what somebody’s really willing to pay for it, typically add an auction, Which includes auction fees and shipping fees.

Not a 1966 original as they were matt black only and version 1 had an opaque aerial with silver beacon cage. 1966 version 2 had a silver aerial. 1967-72: Silver beacon cage was continued on gloss black model from 1967-70 then changed to gold coloured cage 1970-72. All models were then gold cage except purple canopy model which seems to have retained the silver cage. Chain cutter slot was short on the 66 versions and later models can have mid cut or long cut up to the moIding line on the nose scoop, Also 1966 issue came with red missiles only but some say yellow too but this is not confirmed. I personally, would date this to an early 1970 version 2 as it appears to have a gold cage and it has a long chain cutter slot.

Mine has batman written underneath instead of batmobile and it doesn't have red wheels. I presume it's a later version also missing batman and rockets. Pretty cool though

Great video! Looking forward to the next one, keep it up with the regular uploads, I love it!

Wow! Fantastic condition

I lost my in 1973...=( I was 6 years old....somehow I lost the rockets so me and my brother we will use real matches and light them up while throwing the car...cool days....somehow I lost it, or forgot about it or some kid stole it....

Pretty cool. But I don't think that's an actual, original, 1966 version. The reason being, as I understand it, the 1966 had a matte black paint. This one looks like a glossy paint. I think this one was the next iteration from the 1966. The versions after that had a trailer hitch for the Batboat. But, hey, I'm no expert and might be wrong. More power to you.

If it helps, there should have been a cardboard ring inside the box which protected the screens, and a white inner cardboard support to stop the box collapsing, so if your relative left them near but outside of the box dont bin them! Also, the instructions sealed along with the badge should also contain an entire sprue of rockets, if it hasnt been opened that is! If there arent any, he may have re-sealed it. Lovely video and car too, hope this info is of some help to you.

Beautiful artwork, they don’t make them like this anymore.

my parents sold mine at a driveway sale to a neighborhood kid for a nickel a lousy nickel !

Congratulations on the find. That's worth a pretty penny since it has the original box and all the inserts! I had the same 1966 original version when I was 9. I rediscovered it in my dad's house after he passed away. I don't remember if I got it for Christmas in '66 or if I bought it myself. After the abuse of at least two generations of kids it's pretty battered and bruised. The Batman is missing as well as one of the back wheels and the tyre from the remaining back wheel. The front "pods" of the windscreen are broken and the suspension is duff. I'm going to restoring it. I've found a couple of sites that sell replacement reproduction parts - both in Australia for some reason... They even have reproductions of the original box.

It would mean very much to me if you could tell me your opinion about my corgi review:)

I have one of these mint in box , its been in a drawer for 40 yes that I can remember, the box is near perfect, I had no idea it was worth so much , its got all the bits n bobs to , I'm going to be selling it I think

dont touch it with your skin use white cotton gloves its a very rare collectable dont open anything and keep tyres off the ground if you want to sell it il buy it great find

This is my "Rosebud" . When i die my last words will be "1966 Corgi Batmobile"

Thank you liked and subbed!

I have that one ☝️! Same box, same display box, same car. I bought at 12- years old. Used my golf ball $$$$, to buy it. Use to inbox it, play, wipe it down, Rebox it. What’s it worth, 11/2/“21 now?

Thank you for posting, and yes, I would be interested in purchasing it from you. How much are you asking for it and how much is shipping to Mexico?

It is just lovely as you say

My he was a BATMAN FAN OBVIOUSLY..👋👋👋😂😂😂

if you want,there's a batcave diorama which a company made that's very authentic and that your batmobile would fit in,you'd probably find on amazon or ebay!

6 years ago Still got it?

Why? Because the Batmobile is the coolest car in the world. He had taste in his automobiles.

Believe it or not. I have the same situation here in the Netherlands, exept for the box. There is a trailer and an boat with it. But what would be the value of such. i have really no idea. So maybe you can help me out on that.

I have the little Robin thats all thats left of mine

you sound like Pierce Brosnan!! Way Way cool find, very cool.

Nice find... I have a Matt black mint 267, the very first one with all the complete packaging. Mint condition. Mine is available in London England. £2750
