I like Corgi-Toys because of their play value.

I totally agree. That set was a fabulous item, Corgi thinking on their feet, another favourite of mine. Thank's Stephane for bring it here.

I loved this model. To me it was an accurate representation of the real car and with such delightful working features. I spent Hours pretending to be that Guy in the Garage in that artwork, it really caught my imagination.

Fox's model above is a good example of why I like Corgi...they were innovative. That set was effectively eight models in one box. I probably would have a few Corgi models in my collection if the examples found in the States were not almost without exception badly worn, overpriced, or both.
