A very beautiful model, detailed, and functional. Reminds me of my childhood. ☺️
joli modèle avec planchiste, planches amovibles et portes arrières ouvrantes, sympa
je ne l'avais jamais eu
A beautiful model of the iconic sports car.
Of corse, it is a replica of the original Corgi model of the late fiftys. The casting is for his age very nice !!!
I never bought it when I was a child, because I didn't like the windschield (out of proportion).
Now that I have it, I will bring the windshield to a better standard..
Thank you CMC for bringing the oldies back to live.
Hope you ever will bring out the Riley Pathfinder …....
Hello
I recently received the Lotus model I ordered, but I noticed that the exhausts are bent and seem to have been poorly assembled. I would like to know if it’s possible to exchange the item or find a solution for this issue.
Best regards,

Made a wonderful Father's Day gift. Top quality reproduction model, brought lots of nostalgia to our father.
Ich finde die Replicmodelle alter Corhitoxs Modellautos aus den Sechzigern vorzüglich. Allerdings sind sie
schon sehr teuer!
I remember having one in the 60s. If you cannot have a flashing lightbulb, go back to the original method of an off centre circle on the rear axle brushing against a contact on the battery holder, said battery holder being able to be switched off by moving it forward?
Hello Geoffrey,
Thank you for your review, I am sorry to hear off your disappointment.
The Ambulance will indeed have a working light – we modified the battery compartment to take a modern battery. We’ve also re-created the original model’s Trans-o-lite feature that illuminates the roof top lights!
There were two versions of this model. The earlier one had a light that ‘flashed' on and off as you rolled the ambulance across the floor. However, the mechanism never worked satisfactorily so we decided to re-create the second version, minus the back axle switching device. Thus the Corgi Model Club edition is in the rarer cream and pale blue livery, with a light that illuminates via a switch in the base.
Back in the day, Corgi sold bulbs that would flicker on and off to simulate a flashing light. Sadly these have long been out of production.
With kind regards - Corgi Model Club
