Corgi Model Clubs Exclusive Re-issue of the Corgi Toys Bentley Continental Sorts Saloon (22) – FESCH.TV

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Released in 1961, originally in two variations – either black/silver or two-tone green – this lavishly featured model was given jewelled lights, an opening boot (that
housed a spare wheel), ‘Glidamatic’ suspension and innovative fingertip ‘self-centering’ steering. The look was completed by silver plated bumpers and a radiator capped with Bentley’s iconic ‘Flying B’ mascot – simplified somewhat due to the model’s 1:50 scale. This extensive tooling was rumoured to have have been too expensive for the Corgi factory to maintain, hence its deletion in 1965 despite sales of over 960,000. In typically idiosyncratic Corgi fashion, the box depicted an all-green Bentley – a colour the model was never available in.

This reissue, manufactured with amazing attention to detail by Corgi, is available now for just £19.99 plus p&p exclusively to Corgi Model Club subscribers. To sign up visit www.corgimodelclub.com or call 08000 55 77 44.
