Corgi Toys Model Club 224 - Bentley Continental Sports Saloon, Green,silver,black

The Corgi Model Club represents a carefully curated cross-section of some of the greatest die-cast models ever to come originally out of Corgi’s famous Swansea factory. 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 (with 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 s of over 960,000. In typically idiosyncratic Corgi fashion, the box depicted an all-green Bentley - a colour in which the model was never available. brought exclusively and directly to you, thanks to Corgi Model Club's unique relationship with Corgi's owner – the illustrious British toymaker, Hornby Hobbies plc, each model includes a Certificate of Authenticity. Size: Length 110mm, Width 37mm, Height 25mm.
