Introduced into the Corgi range in January 1961, this iconic ‘bubble car’ was available in four different colours – pink, orange, red and metallic blue. It was the first ever Corgi to have the ‘by special request’ flash on its box – which in a typically idiosyncratic Corgi way featured an illustration of the car in off white!

Collecting all four colour variations is popular with collectors today, all the more so because some examples have a textured sunroof. There are also variations with the wheel hubs. Manufactured at Corgi’s Fforestfach factory near Swansea for over ten years, in excess of 1.6 million were sold.

Production ended in 1972. Despite being a small die-cast model, the Corgi designers managed to squeeze in their famous suspension system and gave it a detailed interior. And, as you’d expect from a Corgi Toy of this era, the model’s iconic ‘bubble’ canopy is fully glazed!
