CARRIMORE CAR TRANSPORTER

This is the first Corgi Major Toy and a brilliant piece of play-centred thinking. We loved our Corgis and wanted to use them further in play. A car transporter is ideal and this is a good one. The Big Bedford S Type tractor unit remained in the range a good many years, pulling this transporter, a tanker and a couple of low loader trailers, eventually being superseded by the Bedford TK which inherited all the trailers.

You will see this with blue cab/yellow trailer; yellow cab/yellow trailer; metallic rose cab/blue transporter; and red with a blue trailer. All colours are fairly highly priced. but look out for the ones with the cerise cab or the yellow/yellow. Production ran from 1957 to 1962.
