Corgi Toys & Corgi Classics

Corgi Toys appeared in July 1956, manufactured by Mettoy Playcraft Ltd in Swansea, Wales. The Mettoy company had been founded by Philip Ullmann in 1933, who set up business in Northampton. In the '40s and '50s Mettoy produced die-cast model vehicles which, although crude, proved to be popular.

Their initial sales gimmick was to include plastic glazing which lent the models a greater authenticity, and they rapidly became known as 'the ones with windows'. Most models were initially issued in free-rolling form, or with friction drive motors. The Mechanical versions, as they were known, were indicated by an 'M' suffix in the model number and were available in different colour schemes and were made in far fewer numbers. They were phased out by 1960 - the final Mechanical model being the Ford Thunderbird (214M), and today command higher values amongst collectors.

Although undergoing a change of ownership during the 1990's, Corgi Classics are still produced and some newer models utilise old original 1960's and 1970's Castings, and Corgi now come under the Hornby family, so hopefully will be produced for future generations to enjoy.
