Bentley Continental Sports Saloon (224)


$42.99

Released in 1961, originally in two variations – either black/silver or two-tone green – this lavishly featured model was given jewelled lights, an opening boot (that housed a spare wheel), ‘Glidamatic’ suspension and innovative fingertip ‘self-centering’ steering. The look was completed by silver plated bumpers and a radiator capped with Bentley’s iconic ‘Flying B’ mascot – simplified somewhat due to the model’s 1:50 scale.

This extensive tooling was rumoured to have have been too expensive for the Corgi factory to maintain, hence its deletion in 1965 despite sales of over 960,000. In typically idiosyncratic Corgi fashion, the box depicted an all-green Bentley – a colour the model was never available in.

Size: Length: 110mm Width: 37mm Height: 25mm

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

A kid again ...

I bought and played with many Corgi Cars as a child. The only purchase of which I have a vivid visual memory is of the Bentley Continental. I had saved up "seven and six" over weeks, and I can see the toy shop scene in my mind. This model has brought all that back to life for me. Altogether a super model.
