Whizzwheels and their predecessors: a list

Many of the Whizzwheels models from 1970 to 1972 were essentially existing models that had been around earlier and just got a different paint finish, base and wheels.

Here is a list of all the Whizzwheels models that had 'normal' predecessors, with many retaining the same features. With a few exceptions, these models were not produced for very long, nor sold well and now can be expensive as they're hard to find. Although we do not have sales figures for all of them, it is my view that the pink Chevrolet Corvette, blue Chevrolet Camaro, green Ghia Mangusta de Tomaso, orange Lancia Fulvia and purple Toyota 2000GT would rank high with the Rover 2000TC and blue Mini-Marcos in a list of Corgi's scarcest issues from this period.

I have found illustrations of each of the above, with one of their predecessors for comparison. In many cases there will have been variations of one or other, or both models.
