In 1974/5 Corgi made an attempt
to produce a range of simpler to produce, cheaper, high volume toys
which were not modelled on real vehicles. The model numbers began with a
7. The '700' series of made-up toys, the Minibus, the Ambulance, the Tow
Truck, the Security Van and the Fire Engine get plenty of much deserved
spleen on these pages, however what is striking about them, against all
logic, is that they photograph really well.
The Motorway Ambulance was introduced in 1974 and remained in the range
until 1979. It is always white and red with red and white paper stickers and
there are no listed variations. |
