This is
a true hard-core Corgi from the absolute peak of the brand. This old Commer PB
van did such great service for them appearing in all sorts of finishes and a
number of underlying structures, while always looking consistent. It is a
really well solved set of engineering puzzles. Not only to you get vans,
mini-buses, pickups, milk floats and emergency service vehicles, some of which
have electrics of a couple of different designs, you also have the Constructor
set.
The
Ambulance was available as a stand alone item with a fixed minibus back body or
in the Constructor Gift Set (GS24) where the white chassis/cab could have this
ambulance back or be swapped for a milk-float. You have to admire those Corgi boys & girls. |

The Commer Ambulance was added to the range in February
1964 and remained in the range for two years. You will see the fixed body truck
in white or off-white/cream and the version from the Constructor set, with its
detachable back-body in white. No version seems to attract a premium, but all
are fairly highly valued for a Corgi of this period. |
