The first Corgi 'Classic' to be branded as such was the Ford Model T. I think Corgi were after Matchbox's lunch here as by now the Models of Yesteryear range was well established and had created its own market niche - a compromise between modelling accuracy and a toy robust enough to play with without all those fine detaily bits snapping off. They may however have been a bit pricey at 8/11d. I'm sure they were significantly dearer than the Matchbox MOY range.
As you can see this one has lost some bits - windscreen & passengers and the parts suppliers I can find don't do screens for Classics sadly as this one is worth restoring.
