Corgi’s first modelling of the iconic Beetle pulled out all the stops. Presented in deluxe packaging, complete with a plastic rhino charging the hapless rally car, the model went on to sell in numbers in excess of 760,000. Packed with features, it was given both an opening boot and bonnet, each lifting to reveal some impressive diecast detailing. Best of all, the model could be steered via a spare wheel mounted on the roof.

The look was completed by East African Rally stickers and decals. Launched in 1965, the model stayed in the Corgi range until 1968.Two years later, Corgi used the same casting for a police version (Corgi 492), which cleverly used the spare wheel’s hole in the roof for an emergency light.

Objet conforme a mes attentes

J'ai commandé 3 models dont la VW Coccinelle 1200 East Safari. Cette miniature présente une belle finition et est conforme à ce que je pouvais en attendre. Je ne peux la comparer à un model original que je ne possède pas. Mon seul regret est de constater que les miniatures sont toutes fabriquées en Chine. C'est un peu difficile à admettre quand ont est fan de Corgi made in England.

Superbe reproduction

Je pense qu’il n’y a aucun reproche à faire sur cette reproduction, tout est bien conforme à l’originale, avec la belle boîte-display pour la mettre en valeur!

I found the miniature from my childhood.
Beautiful illusion in my window
Keep up the momentum
THANKS
