GS1

CAR TRANSPOTER GIFT SET


		This was the very first Corgi Gift Set, released just in time for Christmas 1957. Very popular it was too. The transporter, the Jaguar and the MG were all from the 1957 releases. The Austin Healey and the Austin were from the previous year. It stayed in the range with this line-up of cars for two years. In 1959 it was re-released with a load made up of American cars, specifically for the US market. The UK version continued until 1962 with a few changes to the cars on board. You may see a Triumph TR2 in place of the Austin Healey for instance, or a load made up of the Ford Consul, Austin Cambridge, Rover 90 and Riley Pathfinder - although that one is not in the Great Book of Corgi Pocket Book.	The models which made up the Car Transporter Gift Set - GS1 were: 208 Jaguar 2.4 302 MGA Sports 300 Austin Healey 201 Austin Cambridge 1101 Car Transporter
There were loads of variations on this Gift Set and I'll try to recreate them all as they were released. I've put this set together from my rather playworn examples of the toys which made up the set.
