Synopsis
Corgi Toys - 'the ones with windows' were the toy cars to have in the 1960s, 70s and early 80s. This is the ideal introduction to these toy vehicles, made in Swansea until 1983., Corgi Toys created their space in the hearts of children of all ages worldwide most vividly with tens of millions of James Bond Aston Martin cars that shoot a baddie out through a sprung hatch in the roof as well, as well over ten million replicas of the legendary original TV Batmobile, made from 1966 until 1981. By being highly innovative and 'First Again' with so many new gimmicks that children loved and the industry copied, Corgi Toys was the first hugely successful competitor in the zinc diecast toy car market to take on established 1930s originator Dinky Toys and pocket money segment leader Lesney Matchbox 1-75 series. This book provides an informative introduction to Corgi Toys made in Swansea, Wales between 1956 and 1983. This history is illustrated with beautiful previously unpublished photographs illustrating the most desirable variations worth collecting when spotted in an antique store or at a car-boot sale. The pitfalls of Ebay, fakes and customs are also covered., The Corgi model of James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 is the best-selling toy car ever produced and found a place in the hearts of children of all ages around the world. Corgi Toys was founded in Swansea in 1956 and was always highly innovative, introducing many new gimmicks that children loved. Corgi became the first maker of zinc diecast toy cars to compete successfully with Dinky Toys and the Matchbox 1-75 series made by Lesney. Author Mick Overton provides an informative introduction to Corgi Toys, illustrated with beautiful, previously unpublished photographs that show the most desirable variants worth collecting when spotted in an antique store or at a car-boot sale. He also covers the pitfalls of Ebay, fakes and customs. This book is part of the Britain's Heritage series, which provides definitive introductions to the riches of Britain's past, and is the perfect way to get acquainted with Corgi Toys in all their variety.
