RoadworkUK Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Was pondering this the other day: in terms of general spoke layout and pattern, Corgi was fitting the "Style 156" alloy wheel to BMWs several decades before BMW thought to. paulplom, Lord Sterling, Datsuncog and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a thing for them, so if anyone else has any Unimog models, I'd be interested.... This Unimog? Or has Eddy got a Unimog? Either way, happy to pop this one in your box if you fancy it!

On a quality level, it's little better than those no-name diecast from the Far East which turn up in the tat boxes. Funny enough, I've been having a sort out today and found my no-name Corgi Sierra - sold to another brand or were Corgi not putting their name to their products at this point? 20191231_150854 by RS, on Flickr 20191231_150845 by RS, on Flickr 20191231_150908 by RS, on Flickr I also got the Zylmex and Husky MK1 Transits in the same place 20191231_115423 by RS, on Flickr 20191231_115206 by RS, on Flickr Even the interior appears to be a direct copy 20191231_115318 by RS, on Flickr Only the base, roof and grille treatment set them apart 20191231_115335 by RS, on Flickr 20191231_115120 by RS, on Flickr Majorette, Matchbox and Corgi ovloV 700s 20191231_151414 by RS, on Flickr 20191231_151403 by RS, on Flickr 20191231_151329 by RS, on Flickr Swapped the earlier base/wheels, uncracked glass and complete roofrack over onto my Mercury Commuter with unbroken pillars. Shame really as overall the donor was the better car. 20191231_150022 by RS, on Flickr Replaced the grille/bumper/light unit from a tatty Model A onto the So High. Original was brittle and crumbled as I removed it, they must have changed the type of plastic as the older Model As often have bent bumpers, but never broken off. 20191231_145939 by RS, on Flickr I thought the Corgi Rolls Royce and Bentley were the same casting, but they're completely different; 20191231_113308 by RS, on Flickr 20191231_113352 by RS, on Flickr 20191231_113406 by RS, on Flickr 20191231_113418 by RS, on Flickr Early version of the Mach II Mustang arrived and joined its siblings 20191231_112012 by RS, on Flickr 20191231_112915 by RS, on Flickr Weather was cack but I took a chance and got the Donald Duck buggy in primer... 20191231_125354 by RS, on Flickr ...and paint 20191231_131238 by RS, on Flickr Colour is nothing like the lid suggested, but I really like it!
