Corgi Diecast Toy Cars
A great rival to
Dinky, Corgi diecast toys were first launched by Corgi's sister company Playcraft in July 1956. To make them different from the Dinky toys being produced Corgi introduced models with plastic windows. During their first year of trading Playcraft sold over two million toy cars. Some classic model cars produced by Corgi include the James Bond 007 Aston Martin, the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang model car and the very popular Batmobile models.Corgi Toys Limited was launched in 1984 after a management buy out and continues to produce toy cars today.
