The old Commer 5 tonner with the flat-bed body. Good thinking and good play value from Corgi in the early days, standardising the lorry backs and trailers to make sensible pairings for multiple sales and offering the loads of bricks, planks etc which would always fit. The bricks look best on this one - I tried them all.
This is a toy that looks like it has done the miles, had the t shirt, worn it out and is still going strong. Here is a toy maker in its second year of production who has produced a toy that has been hammered by generations of children and fifty years later still looks good. That is something really to be proud of.
