  • Corgi created his catalog in a very unconventional way. The format was not standard. Excellent graphics make it, in my opinion, one of the best toy car catalogs ever. The company started off strong with its cover, featuring characters from iconic series of the time. The first pages feature models based on children's idols' cars.

    Wow what a trip down memory lane, had so many, wish I could go back and tell myself to take better care of them. Have gone and searched and got myself a few very good examples of my favourites which are now on display. to remind me of those times
    Cheers Peter

    Beautiful catalogue with so many fantastic models featured! It makes me appreciate the huge range of models Corgi were producing back then. As a 1950’s child Corgi Toys were my favourite die-cast toys, I loved everything about them, and at Christmas time would visit the Selfridges toy department just to look & wonder at the vast array of superb Corgi Toy models on show - it was like The Motor Show but for die-casts!
    I’ve been rediscovering the Corgi Toys magic thanks to the superb re-issues that the Corgi Model Club has been producing… they really are first class replicas of the original items… far better quality imo than the current Corgi range!

    That is brilliant. I remember having several of these. The white Marcos with stripes and the James Bond car were my favourites. I also had the car transporter. Oh to be 8 years old again.

    Co za podróż w czasie, co za katalog. 😁👍🏼 Urodziłem się w 1966 roku. Pamiętam jeszcze modele z lat 70., ale znam tylko modele z lat 60. ze zdjęć. Kochałem klasyczne samochody. Po prostu miło jest znów zobaczyć coś takiego. Dzięki za podzielenie się, mój drogi Paul. Ty i twoja rodzina macie miły tydzień i bądźcie zdrowi. Pozdrowienia z Cuxhaven, Paul

    What a journey through time, what a catalogue. 😁👍🏼 I was born in 1966. I can still remember the models of the 70s, but I only know the models of the 60s from pictures. The Classic Cars were great. It's just nice to be able to see something like that again. Thanks for sharing my dear Paul. You and your family have a nice week and stay healthy. Greetings from Cuxhaven, Paul

    Was für eine Zeitreise, was für ein Katalog. 😁👍🏼 1966 wurde ich geboren. Ich kann mich noch an die Modelle der 70er Jahre erinnern, aber die Modelle der 60er kenn ich nur von Bildern. Toll waren die Classic Cars. Einfach nur schön, sowas noch mal sehen zu dürfen. Vielen Dank für's teilen mein lieber Paul. Dir und deiner Familie noch eine schöne Woche und bleibt gesund.

    Really good to view a catalogue from the peak period of Corgi model production. Being a kid in the 1960's I was lucky enough to be able to collect many of the models illustrated.
    Encouraged to give most away to a younger member of the family as I got older and became more interested in the opposite sex, rather than model cars. Now, much older, I find myself collecting again to remind myself of those happy times, and also show appreciation for the attention to detail of the model makers.
    Thanks for posting.

    Still got a good number of these. Item no. 474 the Ford Thames Wall's Ice Cream Van with chimes has just been reissued and I've got one on order. 150,000 of the original version were produced between 1965 & 1968. Buy a copy of the April 2021 'Railway Modeller' magazine and you can buy one for just £1.99 (RRP £19.99).

    Corgi was at the top of their form then. I was living in Okinawa and there was only one store that sold Corgis. I had the gold 007 Aston Martin, the first Batmobile, and a few other models and regret that I hadn't bought more. Corgi was the best maker of miniature cars--no other manufacturers put so much features into their cars.

      @@PaulRestorer Hi Paul. I'm not sure what to do sometimes. I love all my cars, but my kids don't have an interest in them as I do.I would of probably handed them down to them as they get older. Most of them I bought from a model shop in the early 1980s, when I was about 19 to 25 years old. I did sell a few back to the shop owner who I bought them from. I sold them about 6 years ago, as we needed to pay some bills and debts, so I was willing to sacrifice some of them to pay the bills! I just thought, " do i keep lots of cars to gather dust, or pay my bills?" I will think about it Paul. If I decide to sell some, I will let you know. Thanks for responding to me.
