Until now, I haven't received this month's model, seleceted for June. Do I have to be worried about it? Regards
Unlike the Batmobile and the Bond DB5, I never had Black Beauty when I was a kid. So I wasn't that bothered about this one prior to its release. But it is a truly stunning recreation. On my model, everything works, and the weight and high gloss finish says 'quality'. The box and inner tray are works of art all by themselves (surely back in the 1960s they must have done a far better job of selling the original models than the window boxes that followed). This is the Corgi Toy I didn't know I wanted!
This is a very good re-issue of this popular Corgi model, with a super paint finish and fully working features and which also includes the often missing accessories.
However, this once again appears to be of the later casting issued by Corgi Toys several years ago,
A bit pedantic perhaps, but the original 1967 version had a fully riveted (4) baseplate whereas on this later version the baseplate is attached with Phillips self tapping screws.
I have two 1967 originals, one with shaped spun wheels with it's original box and all accessories and another, slightly later variant with cast wheels as on this re-issue.
It is still a very nice and worthwhile addition the the collection.
