Corgi, a leading name in die-cast scale models and one of
Britain's best known brands, has been producing models for over 40 years.
Corgi's famous model vehicles captured the imagination of millions of
baby boomers and, what were once simply toys for boys, are highly sought-after in the
expanding collectables market.
Some models, in mint condition and complete with box which originally sold for a few
shillings are now fetching hundreds of pounds. Today, the majority of Corgi cars, trucks
and buses are produced as once-only Limited Editions and are often sold out within
weeks of release.
