Description: Corgi Diecast ModelTrackside DG202000 - Austin J2British Railways Swindon - Ambulance Limited Edition - with Certificate Mint in Box Corgi Toys was created by the Mettoy ("Metal Toy") company, who decided to produce a range of diecast toy vehicles as competition to Dinky, which had dominated the British market for many years. "Corgi Toys" were introduced in the UK in July 1956 and were manufactured in Swansea, Wales, for 27 years before the company went into liquidation. A management buy-out re-formed the company as Corgi Toys Limited in March 1984. In 1989, the management sold the Corgi brand to Mattel and the factory was retained under the name of "Microlink Industries Ltd". In 1995, Corgi regained its independence as a new company, Corgi Classics Limited, and moved to new premises in Leicester. The Corgi brand was acquired by Hornby in 2008.In 1999, after the demise of rival company Lledo PLC, Corgi acquired the Lledo, Vanguards and Days Gone names along with all the Lledo model tooling. The Days Gone range was re-launched by Corgi in 2000 under the Lledo Collectibles trading name. The Trackside series was launched later that year, as a subset of the "Days Gone" range. Trackside models were made specially to complement 00 gauge model railways.This model was released in 2005, and it depicts a British Railways Ambulance based on an Austin J2 van. This was a Limited Edition of just 3,510 models made, and it comes with its own uniquely-numbered certificate. Mint condition, in original box, and complete with certificate. Box is good, with no significant wear and no rips, splits or taped-up corners. Model itself is mint condition and has only been out of the box to photograph.
