Corgi Toys 9021; 1910 Daimler 38 HP Type A12; Orange, Yellow Wheels

Yet another fine Corgi Classics model, the 1910 Daimler 38HP. This car was also modelled by Matchbox Models of Yesteryear and I think Corgi come out on top making a much better job of it. It is referred to in the Great Book of Corgi as having working tip-up seats, which is actually wrong - it never had this feature.

The Corgi Daimler was released in July 1964 and remained in production until 1969. It is always a sort of orangey-red with yellow wheels and chassis. There should be a driver figure, a girl in the front passenger seat and a man and woman in the back. Like all the Corgi Classics range values are modest, too low in my opinion, and there are no listed variations.
