Corgis Insecurity

Following on from Woodsys earlier post on the Corgi Hi Speed Ambulance, heres a nice little model I found at Bolton. Interestingly, when I visited the Doncaster fair, I found the Bus version and at the Southport fair, Scoop got me the Fire Engine. Woodsy picked up a Bus and the Fire Engine from Bolton too. The Corgi Model site refers to this late series of toys as 'absolute dross' and cited them as a failed attempt to rekindle interest in the toys around 1976. Personally, I like their retro future looks and if you disregard the big sticker on the side, I think this could easily be seen sppeeding past WIN HQ in Joe 90. I just need to find the Ambulance and Wrecker and im done!

  1. The 700 series are a great little set. I like their retro-futuristic looks too. I picked up the Security Van for a pound the other day at the Spalding toy fair, must keep an eye out for the fire engine and the wrecking truck...
