As the 1960s morphed into the 1970s, Corgi continued to introduce innovative features, most notably on a selection of models featuring a removable chassis. The Italian Ghia 5000 Mangusta with a De Tomaso chassis was an ideal subject – Ghia famous for their streamlined bodies and De Tomaso for their engine and chassis combinations.

Launched into the Corgi range in 1969 with a stylish two-tone body, gold stripes on the bonnet and some beautifully detailed ‘magnesium’ style wheels, it certainly looked the part! In 1970, renumbered 203, it was revamped with Whizzwheels – no longer with a detachable chassis and in green paintwork – although the two-tone livery still appeared on the box illustration.

A Christmas gift that I got from my cousin

It's pretty funny how much I remembered the Corgi cars as a kid and for some reason I mentioned them being back at that I would never purchase any this time around because of the price. Well I got two for Christmas from one of my cousins and was super surprised. He was visiting and I had mentioned that Corgi was back knowing that I collected a lot of vintage toys from my childhood. I showed him the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang , my 007 Aston Martin and my favorite the Batmobile. To this moment I think he was nuts to have payed over 40 bucks each but it was a gift and I appreciate my Corgi's
Still well made but just so overpriced that you should be ashamed, sorry . I find originals in toy shows and even flea markets that have been well kept and have not cost anything close to 40 bucks.

Super Model

Great continuation of the original model. Great detail. Cool removeable backbone chassis. Just a super model.
