247 - Mercedes Benz Pullman

Never had the chance to buy it as a kid, I am 57 now and I finally got my Corgi Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman with moving wiperblades! Fantastic model. I live it just like all the previous reissues. CMC makes children's dreams come true even at 57! Above all, keep it up!

I said in my last review that the windscreen wipers do not work. I have discovered that they do. Some investigating was done.

Mercedes Benz 600 Pullman. Just received my car. There is a switch underneath that when you put it on the wind screen wipers work. They do not.

Absolutely amazing, I have a excellent condition original version and the only way to tell which is which is the fact the older one says made in Great Britain

The model looks lovely, but the side-sliding windows are erratic in their function. One stays up only sometimes, the other won't stay up at all. Contacted Customer Services and was told that any replacement would likely be the same, though I could return the car at my own expense (eh?) for a refund if I was not satisfied. Surely models should not be sent to buyers unless they can be guaranteed to be working perfectly. I have had more than my fair share of slightly defective models from Corgi Model Club, who usually replace them quickly without requiring the defective model returned (after all, what use is it to them?) and I wonder if that is the problem here. Perhaps Corgi thinks I am chancing my arm in order to get an extra (free) model, but defective models are of no more use to me than they are to Corgi. I'd prefer if I received perfect working models first time out of the gate, instead of having to contact Corgi Customer Services. Well past time the quality control procedure was upgraded as too many defective models are getting through.
