This stylish 2+2 coupé was everything a raffish type wanted in the early 60s – and the perfect choice for TV’s The Saint. This die-cast Corgi is packed with details, including a miniature Moore himself at the wheel, with the iconic Saint logo proudly emblazened across the bonnet. Now is your chance to relive the days when this stylish Corgi sped after villains across the living room floor!

The streamlined 906 was the brainchild of Ferdinand Piech, the grandson of Ferdinand Porsche. Given the keys to the marque’s racing team at the tender age of 28, Piech quickly learned that weight was the key to victory. He designed the 906 in glass fibre, giving it a weight of just over 500kgs. In 1966, its first full season, the 906 won at both Daytona and the illustrious Targa Floria, earning a place in the Porsche hall of fame. 

In the gospel according to Grand Prix legend Sir Colin Chapman, weight and distribution came before speed. Never was this better illustrated than when the Lotus-Climax cars won the 1963 and 1965 Championships. With Jim Clark at the wheel, a revolutionary monocoque body and a rear-mounted engine, these ‘garagista’ classics changed motor racing forever. 

It’s a little known fact that the humble Land Rover sold better than any other Corgi model. Yes, even more than their famous James Bond cars – by the simple virtue that Corgi made so many different versions during their golden years. Sales easily outstripped the illustrious spy’s DB5, making any Corgi collection incomplete without one. We’ve picked our favourite – the Land Rover Breakdown Truck. 

The legendary Ford Mustang has long passed into motoring folklore as the fastest selling car of all time. Small wonder when one considers the V8 package buyers got in relation to the cost! With looks to kill – especially the Fastback – it is little wonder Corgi chose to model the car. 

As the 1960s morphed into the 1970s, Corgi continued to introduce innovative features, most notably on a selection of models featuring a removable chassis. The Italian Ghia 5000 Mangusta with a De Tomaso chassis was an ideal subject – Ghia famous for their streamlined bodies and De Tomaso for their engine and chassis combinations.

Released in 1961, originally in two variations – either black/silver or two-tone green – this lavishly featured model was given jewelled lights, an opening boot (that housed a spare wheel), ‘Glidamatic’ suspension and innovative fingertip ‘self-centering’ steering. The look was completed by silver plated bumpers and a radiator capped with Bentley’s iconic ‘Flying B’ mascot – simplified somewhat due to the model’s 1:50 scale.

One of the most famous and feature-packed die-cast models ever. Yet despite selling in huge quantities, try finding a mint condition example today. And when you do, prepare to dig deep! For Corgi enthusiasts everywhere we have reproduced the 1965 DB5 in incredible detail – for a fraction of the cost.
