There are loads of releases of this model over the years. I originally thought this to be the first release of the open top version, but when I got the bottom off I found it had suspension and was therefore the later 'S' release. The usual way for Corgis to get suspension is to have the axles fitted into slots so that they can move up and down and to provide a spring wire down each side of the car, This one has a small buttrfly spring for each axle.
It has been in the hands of a small child with a paint box, a child who wanted it to be black with a blue grille. Water colour paints thank goodness. I managed to get most of it off with a little effort before I took the first set of pictures on the left. I then ordered a new screen & steering wheel from Steve Flowers and stripped the car down to give it a good clean before reassembling it with the new parts.
