This is the first UK update of the Car Transporter
set, recognising the moves forward from the early models originally supplied
with it. We get a Yankee Plymouth, the updated and very sexy Citroen DS19 with
seats and springs - wow!, The brand new Morris Mini Minor, so hip it hurts and a
tweedy and very British sports motor, the car that came with free string-backed
driving gloves, the Triumph TR3a. All these cars are piled on the back of the
good old Bedford car transporter. It remains a very heavy outfit, drop this on
your toe and you'd know about it!.
This group has been put together using models from
my collection.

But, oh my! how evocative of the turn of
the sixties Corgi range is this set? Innovation - the DS; reaching out to the
States- the Plymouth; solid British iron- the Triumph; English innovation- the
Mini; Corgi engineering excellence, the transporter's raise and lower top deck,
all pulled by a sound, British tractor, the 'Big' Bedford S type. |
