472 - Land-Rover Public Address Vehicle


$42.99

Corgi 472 was launched into the range in 1964 – topically in the same month Harold Wilson narrowly won a general election, becoming Britain’s first Labour Prime Minister for thirteen years.The model remained in the Corgi range for just two short years, ensuring its rarity today.

The casting was based on that of Corgi 438 but given a new plastic moulding at the rear, complete with loudspeakers and a pair of electioneering figures. Rather sensibly, Corgi opted for a non-political ‘Vote for Corgi’ message on the sides! Memorably, the tooling was used again in 1965 with a Chipperfield’s Circus livery. It didn’t go unnoticed that the two figures in this new version (Corgi 487) were of a clown and a monkey! 

Size: Length: 93mm Width: 36mm Height: 67mm

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

A Great Corgi Re-Issue to Drive Your Neighbors Crazy

I decided to run for local political office as the town needs cleaning up. What better way to get your message out there than with a Land Rover public address system! My neighbors hate me! I drive all over town in my Corgi PA system equipped Land Rover to spread my blather! This Corgi Land Rover drives great and it’s every bit as good as the one that I was not allowed to have as a kid. I hope Corgi brings back the other Land Rovers that they had in the day. Get one!

Shipping

The shipping over the holidays was terrible. After about a week (I ordered very early December) I emailed to find out why the shipping information was as I had received multiple notifications, but none aligned with the package or could give me information. After emailing and getting short unhelpful responses, I finally got an answer but the package still has not shipped. It is after the holidays and I will have to give my father in law his gift at a later date. I’m very disappointed since collecting these are his hobby and I would love to continue to support the business.
