Volkswagen Breakdown Truck (490)


$79.99

Available on its own (as Corgi 490) or as part of the GS36, GS37 and GS12 gift sets, the VW Breakdown Truck utilised tooling from the earlier VW Pick-up (Corgi 431) but without that model’s rear tail-gate. For the Breakdown Truck, the tail-gate was replaced by a winch and hook which was operated by turning a rubber tyre included as part of a clever mechanism.

The rear of the model was given a red plastic moulded tool box (with an integral hinged lid that opened to reveal a set of chrome painted tools) and a pair of spare tyres.The VW Breakdown Truck was available in mustard, tan and white – all variants featuring a red painted VW logo. As part of the gift sets, it came with a matching car trailer which was unavailable separately.

Size: Length: 100mm Width: 36mm Height: 40mm

Scale: 1:47

All our Corgi Toys replicas are authentic and faithful to the originals and come with their own numbered certificate of authenticity.

Nice Model

I ordered the VW and 3 other cars. All cars came without issue. The mouldings and paint are of great quality and do the originals justice.

I do have an issue and that is I had to use a freight forwarding company as they do not ship to Australia.

"NO DOWN TIME" with the Volkswagen Breakdown Truck! (490)

Love Bug at first sight! I immediately decided I MUST BUY THIS CORGI. Opening toolbox with all the chrome steel ratchet and wrench sets any mechanic would be proud to wield. Along with gas and oil cans, spare tires, working wench, how offend do you find that-it’s got it all. With a utilitarian green paint job signaling help is here, I am very happy with my Volkswagen Breakdown Truck!
