| The Corgi model is the blue one on the right, the red on is a model
made by Mettoy before the launch of the Corgi brand, it is interesting
to note that about five years later Corgi were back making Co-op
liveried trucks. Mettoy is the company that in the fifties decided to
launch a range of toy cars to compete with Dinky, that range was to be
called Corgi. Here we get a view of Mettoy moving an existing product
into the new range.
In 1957 Corgi remodelled the Karrier Bantam for the Smiths Mobile Shop, this was a completely new model of the same truck, which could be seen as odd, why not reuse the same model?. This model returned as the Lucozade van a year later in1958 and again in 1962 as the Dairy Produce van
