hi, i came across some corgi toys in my friends attic and have been able to find information on all of them apart one.. every site i have looked at does not show this toy as ever being in production.. all i can tell you is that it came from the Fforestfach factory in swansea around the time that it burnt down..
the item is a corgi juniors multi-park gift set.. if anyone could shed some light on this item, it would really be appreciated and i will add a picture soon as.. many thanks

Very difficult without more information. What models are included? What colours are they? What wheels do they have? A picture would be beneficial.

There are some earlier Corgi toys that made the catalogue but not production, such as the Mostest Mini, but to my knowledge not too much from the later years.

You'll have to narrow that down a bit!

Post the link to the image.

There we go, here's the big version;


corgi gift set by lumix-tz10, on Flickr

It's not a never released set, as there are ones out there. I believe it to be from 1970. A minty mint one sold on Vectis for £140 (from the picture, yours is not, sorry). They have it as No 3007, but I'm not sure that is correct as that corresponds to a Wild West set. I also believe that there was a French version with a slightly differently coloured box.

the box on this one come off worse than the other corgi toys that my friend owns, but still a great fined after being put away for 40 years in an attic.. the next step now is to try and find a buyer for this lot.. many thanks for all the help
