I had one as a child around 1971. I bought the blue one by chance in a German shop and now I've got the green one.
The quality is superior to the original, whose mold is one of the most beautiful in the history of model cars from the late 1960s. The mold was probably made by Gerald Wingrove. With current technology, the small tolerance defects in the openings have been eliminated.
That was the slogan around 1960, when I was a boy and policemen in Volkswagen 'Beetles' patrol cars were a common sight all over Holland and Germany. I already owned Corgi's Dutch version, so when the opportunity arose to own the German version as well, I found it too hard to resist. So now I've got two beautiful models of police 'Beetles' in the right livery, and let me assure you, they do bring back memories!
All the models are beautiful and carefully constructed. However I miss an option. If only one door could be opened, it's perfect :)
...where my motorways were the banded soft rugs of my living room and my zephyr ran over a red Alfa Romeo Giulia...good remake of my original model lost years ago. Love it. It is a shame that young people don't know these cars and the traditional british automotive.
