Lotus - Climax Formula 1 Racing Car (155)


$76.99

Nothing typifies mid-to-late 1960s Corgis like this wonderful Lotus-Climax racing car. It was a must-have for schoolboys of the era, introduced in December 1964, just in time for Christmas. Based on Colin Chapman’s streamlined design that first raced in 1962 and was famously driven by Jim Clark, this superb Corgi is painted in a classic ‘British racing green’ livery, with a yellow racing stripe and that all important number one decal.

Strangely, the box illustration showed the car with a number four. Best of all, it came with a miniature driver, perfect for holding your own Grand Prix on the living room carpet! It was deleted in 1975, by which time racing cars looked very different indeed.

Size: Length: 98mm Width: 40mm Height: 23mm

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

Lotus Formula 1 Race Car

Love it so much!! I still have my original but the tires are somewhat bare threaded and the paint a little scratched and pitted from years of play. Mint condition side by side with the 1968 original is awesome!!

Lotus F1 racing review.

This car is awesome. It looks very much like the one Brian Bedford drove in the 1966 racing epic Grand Prix.

Design and construction fantastic as usual. Details and paint equally fine.

Love that car

I had this car when I was eight. I still own it as a matter of fact, but its in what you might call rough condition, it was played with hard when I was kid. The reissue is perfect. Thanks for bringing back a piece of my childhood.
