#863 Corgi Cubs - Jeep (Nr. 501) (1977)

The Corgi Cubs were cars inward the classic 1:43 scale size made alongside real few details, evidently colours together with uncomplicated together with robust structure (no windows, plastic base, durable axles…)

The structure too reveals that Corgi was trying to arrive at these models every bit cheaply every bit possible, together with so, the means the axles are attached to the chassis is inexpensive together with form of new. In the base of operations at that topographic point is or therefore indication most a patent that has been applied together with many collectors intend this patent may cite to the means that the axles are attached to the plastic base.

They are based inward real generic designs that arrive at non clitoris whatever known (real) model. There are many dissimilar types of vehicles: trucks, lorries, vans, cars, helicopters, sport cars, race cars, hatchbacks together with too the Jeep (ATV) shown inward this entry. After all, modest children rarely involvement themselves for the existent cars their toys represent, they desire to convey dissimilar types at early on ages. Later things change.

And because things change, adults collectors arrive at non similar this series. Being “fantasy” cars has made that most collector arrive at non fifty-fifty reckon these toys. They only focus on the other Corgi series.

The Cubs models are truly rare, they were exclusively sold during +/- two years, together with and then they disappeared. Probably they didn’t sold real well, together with they were withdrawn from the catalogue. Despite existence rare, they tin live bought for real petty money.

I am happy alongside my Jeep, I don’t intend I would purchase whatever other model from the series.
