LAND-ROVER 109W.B.

My Corgi collection grew out of my interest in Land Rovers. My wife won't let me have more than one full size one at a time so I started to buy models. I've owned a number of real Land Rovers and currently own a 1964 Series 2a 88" Station Wagon. I've owned Corgi Toy 109" pick-ups as long as I can remember and still have a broken-backed green one from my childhood. It was once trodden upon and it does a very life like impression of a real one with a snapped chassis - they break just behind the cab. My absolute favourite toy though as a child was a Corgi Series 2 Land Rover 109" Tow Truck.

You get all three colourways made by Corgi of the basic Series 1 Truck Cab here in the pictures although strictly speaking the green one was in only sold in a gift set with a pony trailer and should have a tan coloured rear tilt made of pressed tin.

This model is very good indeed and bears very close and careful inspection. I have stripped and rebuilt a few Land Rovers and maintain my current one myself. I know how they are made and what they look like. This is an excellent representation in significant detail of the 109"Series 1 pick-up or 'truck cab' - it is an almost flawless model and one of the high points of the Corgi brand's history.
