A marketing ploy by Corgi I guess, interesting to compare the 1:36 scale with the Juniors model. Matchbox tried the same idea a few years later..

Yes nothing is sacred within the toy world so they say.

Zetor Tractor and Tipping Trailer 1975 issue















and later issue

Corgi ran with this design for some time including the tipping trail. Thanks for show both.

Amarsden, you may be interested in some of Marty's Auctions. Here is a Playart Toyota Celica GT 2000 up and I am sure there are more. Day 3 of his auctions starting in early March. Not sure if you have this or not. Scroll down the page to item 10

Thanks Jim, I don't have the Celica (or Celiac as they call it!) in this colour on the blister card, I will keep an eye on it...

Glad I could help. You are also collecting the older Corgi toys on cars and if you look at the same section of the auction, a few pages further on, you will find a bunch of them as well. Some are in lots I think. Worth looking into.

Jim

These are nice sets. I like the airport set, thanks for posting these.

Thanks Jim, How do I edit the URLs so the pictures show?

The link below will take you to page 2, scroll down to post #22 and then follow the instructions. You do everything like uploading a normal picture but before you post you will see the little picture box. Highlight that and then go to Add Image URL in this box. It is beside the Upload Image button. In there you need to remove the thumbnails/ text from the line in the box at the top. Then click anywhere in the box on your screen and you should see the photo appear then hit the update button and close the next box and it will be in your post. Do this for each picture. It gets quite quick once you have it.
