CORGI JUNIORS - Best of British x 3

Where to start, well lets start at the top, of all the 1/64 (ish) scale models of the Rover SD1, the Corgi version is far and away the best, it has been modelled in a number of colours, white, red, yellow to mention a few, but the usual colour for this range is a lovely blue, the Rover has an opening tailgate, with the glass intact, as a lot of them fell out and remained an empty hole.

The second is another from the British Leyland group of companies, this time Triumph and the TR7, this one has the black base, but other have a metal/chrome base, which does look better in respect of the bumpers, but the black is more authentic, with British Airways decals on the bonnet and #7 on the doors, this is a race version, but was available in other colours outside of this collection.

The last of the three is a brilliant model, the real car was the car that saved British Leyland from going bust, and so it is a very special model in the history of the company, this one has a tad too small wheels, but that does not detract from the over all look of the car, this has opening doors, and like the other two, has relatively decent interpretations of the interior.

All three boxes are pristine and mint, and as white as the day they were made, others, and like some i have, have gone a bit beige over the years, whereas these are mint, like the cars, I try to get these off eBay when i can, as i wont ever have enough of these, the Ford Escort in green is however the hardest to get hold of, i don't know why, but i only have one of these in a slightly tarnished box.
