The
cutest little model that Corgi ever made. It was in the range for 10 years and
was seen in all sorts of colours. The red one below is early, look at its flat
wheels. The pink one is also early and could do with a clean - I want this in
all the colours, so if you have one lurking about you want rid of in a colour
you cannot see here please email me.
Funny to
think that BMW revived its fortunes after WW2 by building cars like these |
CORGI TOYS |
There were two of these in my childhood toybox, both horribly
overpainted and both ripe for restoration. I think I was trying for a
special finish here, silver rubbed away to reveal blue beneath - or was
it just a terrible paint job
The Hienkel Trojan Economy car was made from 1962 to 1972, a very long
run for Corgi. It also had a host of variations. The early car had flat
turned hubs and possibly gecause it was the only model to use these tiny
hubs they stayed that way right through the era of spun hubs and went
straight to cast hubs at the end of the run. Colours are: red, dark
blue, lilac, orange, pink, metallic blue, fawn and turquoise.
