| Two
new models were launched in May 1982, the Ferrari 380GTS and the Magnum
PI car as a TV tie in. Both cars were identical, only the boxes were
different. I remember Magnum PI - a TV detective series - wasn't it
based on Hawaii and the hero had a rich pal who was never seen but let
Magnum use his posh house and swanky car? Magnum was played by one of
the 'Three men and a Baby' actors Tom Selleck?
This model has sadly
been killed off really as a collectors piece though by it being given
away free with petrol. I think there is one somewhere in my kids' toybox,
fill your car up three times at Shell and you got a Corgi sports car.
Ferrari, E-Type, Bugatti, Porsche etc. The good features are pop-up
headlights and a nice detailed engine. The contrasting tan seats work
very well too |
