The latest Corgis comprise two Chevrolet Impalas, a Fire Chief’s Car and a taxi, both 4 1/2 in. long and priced at 5s. 6d. each (nos. 482 and 480) and a working model conveyor on an FC-150 forward-control Jeep, 7 3/4 in. long, costing 13s. 6d. (no. 64).

Spot-On offer a 4 1/2 in.-long Ford Zephyr as presented in the B.B.C. “Z-Cars” series, beautifully finished like all these Spot-On replicas which are made in Northern Ireland. This one is no. 309 and is packed in the usual presentation clear-view carton with transparent front. It costs 8s. 11d. Another excellent Spot-On model is of the Morris 1000, 3 7/16 in.-long, priced at 4s. 11d. There was an interesting article on the tin-plate Citroën Models of the 1920s and 30s in the July issue of Model Cars.—W. B.
