#693 Corgi – Lotus Elite Together With Vw Polo “Polizei” (1976 Together With 1979)

Here are ii to a greater extent than Corgi models, the commencement i is the Lotus Elite, 315-C1 inward ruby-red (1976 to 1979). This model was every bit good available inward xanthous (301-C1, racing decoration), greenish (315-C2, “Wings Flying Club”), nighttime bluish (382-B1) in addition to dark (GS 32-B3 Lotus Racing Set)

The instant model is to a greater extent than interesting, since it is a VW Polo “Polizei”, 489-A1 inward white/green (German Police) (1979 to 1980).

The Polo was every bit good available inward xanthous “ADAC” (4894-A1, High German route service), xanthous “POST” (289-A2, High German postal service), greenish (289-A1), grayness (302-C1, Racing decoration), xanthous “Swiss PTT” (no number, Swiss postal service), addition other variants that produce non seem inward Force (see #340)

The shape was afterwards modified in addition to sold every bit VW Turbo (312-C1, White or Beige alongside racing decoration)
What involvement me virtually this Polo model is that is has a High German Police decoration, in addition to it is non the solely model. I don’t know inward which numbers they were sold, exactly it seems that the High German marketplace was real interesting every bit good for Corgi (not solely for Matchbox), in addition to past times the destination of the 70s, Corgi every bit good tried to gain or in addition to therefore marketplace portion inward Germany. No affair what, the Polo is a real curious in addition to overnice model, since I am non quite sure, if the High German constabulary e'er used the 1970s Polo every bit a patrol car.
