FORD TRANSIT MkI VAN

Warckshire Fire Brigade

LIMITED EDITION 2,800 w/numbered COA

Die Cast

1/43 Scale, aprx. L 4”; W 1 ¾”.

RARE, Difficult to find one, retails up to 16 UK Pounds (aprx. $31 May 2005), SOLD OUT – no longer available from the manufacturer.

Limited stock on hand.

Condition is NEW (straight from the manufacturer master shipper box).

This particular model was the first issue of this new Corgi model.  Appeared to be based on Vanguard casting.

The model is well detailed and displays great! 

The model is a part of the popular Corgi UK Series “nine DOUBLE nine” (999 is emergency call number as 911 in the US).  Models from this series aren’t available for the distribution on the US market.  Some models are available for special orders that could be place in about two week period upon semi year UK catalog release, but the orders aren’t guarantied for a delivery.  Bottom line it is very difficult and very expensive to get models from Corgi UK lines here on the US market.

 

Corgi says: “The Ford Transit, a successor to the Ford Thames 15cwt van was used over the years by fire brigades for a variety of tasks including general purpose, canteen vans, breathing apparatus tenders, salvage tenders, control units, pumps, rescue tenders and emergency tenders.”
