447 - Wall's Ice Cream Van on Ford Thames (with figures)


£45.99

Corgi 447, the first version of Corgi’s iconic Wall’s Ice Cream Van, was presented in a different box design to the later Corgi 474 and was notable for the two figures of an ice cream seller and a boy that accompanied it. Slots in the cardboard plinth that came in the box allowed the figures to be displayed next to the model to create a diorama. The figures were deleted from the later model for production cost reasons.

The question always asked about this model – and indeed, Corgi 474 – is why the steering wheel is on the left. This replicated the actual ice cream van, the left-hand drive position allowing the vehicle to be parked to the nearside (right), so that children could queue safely on the pavement for their Wall’s ice creams and ice lollies and not in the road!

447 W.all's Ice Cream Van

A wonderful re issue from CMC of a very popular model from the 1960s. Superb paint, crystal clear windows along with the two figures evoke fond memories from a bygone era. Box also is an excellent re-creation.
I look forward to each month's new release with anticipation.

Excellent product

A great reissue. Thank you. 🙏 nothing to do with the Oxford replica. This looks exactly as the obsolete 447 I have got in my collection.
