Volkswagen 1200 Beetle

Driving School Car

CORGI

 
 
 
Another example of Corgi living its life backwards. This model has been around for years in various guises with a steering mechanism controlled from the roof  via a spare wheel as an East African safari rally car, via a beacon with the German Police car. Now it has a steering wheel as it is a driving school car. However the earlier ones had opening boot and bonnet - or whatever they are on a Beetle - this final effort at a steering model loses these details, next time out it loses the steering too. Enough said The 1975 release was number 401, the same car came out in 1974 as number 400. The difference was that 401 was in a box with a diorama with a set of bollards to drive around.
