Remember having this model many years ago and as usual great memories flood back when opening the box again. Nice one for the collection.
The model arrived quickly in secure protective packaging. It is convincing replica of the original 1960s Corgi Toy. The battery box takes a single AA battery and a simple switch lights up the central dome light and 4 corner lights which collect light by coloured plastic tubes……the equivalent of today’s optical fibre. The original toy had flashing lights and from my stash of 1960s bulbs I replaced the non flashing one in the model. These bulbs are old technology and nobody makes them in the 2020s. A keen modeller could easily hook up a clear flashing LED to achieve a 2025 flash effect. There is a video of my model with flashing lights on the Corgi Model Club Facebook group.
Very good I would recommend anyone to buy one.
Again a great model from CMC! A lot of details on it👍. Can't wait for the next model !
you are on top !!! same car as 60 years ago !!!
Another cool model from CMC! Can't wait for the next one!
Excellent reproduction!
I bought the Triumph Herald Coupé. A model I never had. It is a very perfect model ! I am grateful to CMC for those beautiful re-issues!
As a boy of 13, a bought my first Corgi in 1960, a red Aston Martin DB4.
In fact, I was a Dinky fan. But then I began to buy different Corgi models.
Now, I am looking forward for a re-issue of the 1959 Chevrolet Impala saloon, to add to my Dinky and Corgi collection.
Go for it CMC !
A fantastic model as it should be as it's identical to its red counterpart in everyday except of course the colour.
It's harkins back to the quality that one came to expect from Corgi and is indeed replicated by the CMC.
The model is a beaut.
It is awesome that the CMC have given us the opportunity to own the model in both colours. Remember when we had to choose between one or the other version of a Corgi Model because of limitations of pocket money or only getting one item for a birthday or Christmas present.
Thank you again CMC
This is a fine detail model and very true to the 60s original, which I once had but sold! I would highly recommend this model to any die cast collector.
