Here's everything you need to know about this modelcar listing.
Corgi Toys was created by the Mettoy ("Metal Toy") company, who decided to produce a range of diecast toy vehicles as competition to Dinky,
which had dominated the British market for many years. "Corgi Toys"
were introduced in the UK in July 1956 and were manufactured in Swansea, Wales,
for 27 years before the company went into liquidation.
A management buy-out re-formed the company as Corgi Toys Limited in March 1984. In 1989, the management sold the Corgi brand to Mattel and the factory was retained under the name of "Microlink Industries Ltd". In 1995, Corgi regained its independence as a new company, Corgi Classics Limited, and moved to new premises in Leicester. The Corgi brand was acquired by Hornby in 2008.
This model depicts a Renault 5TS, finished in gold with a brown interior. It features opening doors and tailgate. At 1:36 scale, it measures about 9.5cm in length.
