Notes
These promotional models never went into full production, so extremely rare items either unique sample pieces or part of a very small run. Fortunately, Monty managed to discover a batch of these promotional models. He says:
I met a chap after buying many corgi juniors some in very rare colour combinations, 7- 8 years ago whose uncle used to work in quality control in the factory in Swansea.
Every summer they used to go on a camping holiday with other Corgi employees! One such chap worked in the production/design office and he created these various designs.
My contact was a youngster at the time and together with his brother and as a result of their uncle were given these models by the chap working in the production office as gifts.
Both models are in in mint, unused condition with complete transfers throughout. in superb fresh, crisp boxes. Period note on a green label on one of them ‘CAPITOL GAS’ (USA) Nov. ’78 Circa 1970. Unique number 113 (also a numbered label on the underside of the model) .
