I would be grateful for any help anyone may be able to provide in identifying this model which I found in a Charity Shop a few years ago. Obviously not a Corgi, I know! It's just been troubling me for ages and I can find nothing like it anywhere.
You can see that it's almost certainly 1:10 scale, measuring over 40cms in total. It weighs nearly 1½ kilos and appears to be made out of some type of heavy non-metallic material for the main body.
The wheels are metal with hard plastic-like tyres. The interior is a hard material made to look like cloth for the seats, with a quite detailed but roughly hewn dashboard.
In appearance only, it resembles products made in the Vintage Transport range by Lesser & Pavey Ltd. However their advertised models are all tin and their sales people didn't recognise this from an earlier time.
Nothing opens and there's no steering, nor is there any sign of brand on the base. So I do wonder if it was made by someone from some mould and parts supplied for the bumpers and steering wheel. The addition of silver, black and orange paint definitely looks less than professional but the overall cream finish is interestingly 'weathered' in appearance and not the finish you'd expect from an amateur.
Perhaps someone out there might recognise this and help me. I am not expecting it to have any great value or to be particularly ancient. It's a nice object to have sitting in the office but is starting to get in the way. However I need to be sure I'm not giving away or selling too cheaply something I later discover to have been valuable.
