Love it and them all so far what I go . And looking forward to more in the collecting. Thanks
Yet another outstanding re-issue from Corgi's back catalogue of mid century American cars. I had #211S in the vac plated gold, much prefer the Corgi Club's choice of metallic gold.
Even as a boy, I preferred the simplicity of Dinky Toys and this set reflected that simplicity. Corgi Toys were revolutionary when they first appeared, particularly the mechanical ones. Reproducing one of those would be a worthy challenge for Hornby, but only if they can avoid the gaffs, such as producing an ambulance with a battery operated light on the roof which is white and doesn't flash . . .
Another set of Dinky Toys would be nice too!
There is something very appealing about this model despite the drab military green colour scheme. Perhaps it’s the full complement of officers inside making it one of Corgi’s few models to have four passengers? It was a relatively rare model in its day so it’s great to be able to buy one now for very reasonable money. And it’s another fine replica, well up to the Club’s standards. Hopefully we will see further replicas of less common models as time goes on and a replica of the No 356 VW Military Personnel Carrier from the same series would be nice (hint).
