Details
'Mechanical' version with friction motor. Released: July 1956 Retired: 1959 Copies sold (mechanical): 110.000 This was the only one of Corgi's original 1956-batch, that didn't recieve favorable reviews upon its release. According to the critics, this model is too narrow and proportions are incorrect. Possibly for that reason, the model sold fewer copies than the other initial Corgi's... meaning that it's rarer today - ironically, the model with the lowest regards back then, has become the most expensive now!
