So this is where it all began in 1956. This inconspicuous and unattractive car was the very first in Corgi’s catalogue and in the first batch put on sale.

This is the Mechanical version which did not prove very popular and were taken off production a couple of years later and are now much scarcer, especially with a working motor and reasonable, original paintwork!

This one has very good original paintwork with a few signs of wear which are not at all obvious on display 

The wheels and tyres are good and windows nice and clear. That can make a huge difference to the model. The base is rust-free and clean and the motor is working.

Another very scarce and collectable item indeed.
