The recent Fast & Furious movie added interest in this casting - Hotwheels have now made a 3 inch version and Greenlight a 1/43 but I still like the Corgi!

I agree Mick the corgi is my favourite of the 2 'but saying that the hotwheels is more accurate ,it's more in proportion with the corgi looking a little short and the corgi has incorrect square headlights for a Mexico these were fitted to 1300 GT's ,E's, XL's and some standard models . The bubble arches are correct on the corgi
The hotwheels is more like an RS2000 colour scheme

The Corgi Juniors seems to be based upon the 1968 Lotus Twin Cam which did have rectangular headlamps and WAS driven by Roger Clark the Corgi favourite - I have no idea how close they were to making a 1/43 version although they did make the decals which ended up on the Roger Clark Capri. they did plan for a lot of Husky/Juniors in larger scale until Hotwheels came along and concept cars were all the rage from 1970........
EXCELLENT COMPARISON pics, I still look for the HW!!
