Lots of variations on this page so make sure you scroll right down to the bottom
This is a van that was produced in so many Variations it is very hard to keep track of them all, I am up to about 232 with wheel / base / window / tampo / base writing / and the KIDCO vans making it very hard to make a list of what is out there to collect. but never the less I have had great fun finding new stuff and am still looking. 1977 is the first date this one turns up Designed again by Jerry Fisher with the Charlie's angels logo on in pink and from the very start Variations started to show up and are still turning up now 27 years later. There in a rib Variation on the roof due to a casting difference but adding this to my collection would make it imposable to compile a list so I have not gone down this road YET.

In the year 2000 part of the Jerry Fisher collection came up for sale Jerry was a designer for Corgi for a number of yeas and designed items such as the Bat mobile and Lady Penelope's car the collection came up for sale. I was lucky to get some of the Pre-production Vans that were on sale, Jerry had an amazing collection and most collectors and dealors were after the better known items rather than the vans so that was lucky for me.
