Corgi’s famous model vehicles captured the imagination of millions of baby boomers and, what were once simply toys for boys, are highly sought-after in the expanding collectables market. Some models, in mint condition and complete with box, which originally sold for a few shillings are now fetching hundreds of pounds. Today, the majority of new Corgi cars, trucks and buses are produced as once-only Limited Editions and are often sold out within weeks of release.
