If you collect custom vans then this is for you made from 1980 I am always amazed at the limited amount Corgi used this model for some reason they always used the Chevy van an yet if you think about it what a great van this is for the tempos like the Charles angels and superman vans, it comes with a few Variation the most important being basses plastic and metal and chrome/metal in a lot of them the metal being used for the first 4 years, windows and wheels are also likely to be changed, used by KIKO/CORGI Brazil for a while then this casting ended up with Mattel and was used in 1995/96 for the hot wheels van in a few sets they did at the time some of them had the Corgi Logo and some had the
Hot wheels logo on the base..
Rare set C1403 Corgi Tanker and custom van
