| As a kid, i played a lot with animal-figurines, but i had lots of cars to, as long as they had animals in the set. So i had quit a few models from Corgi Toys, which included animals, like the Circus Chipperfields sets. One of them was the 1130 Bedford Truck with Circushorse-Trailer. Actually, i had 2 of them in my youth. When i am not wrong, they did cost about 7 or 8 Dutch Gulders in the 1960's, and Now the asking price for one in mint-condition is around the 350-400 euro mark! Well, i found one much cheaper, but for that not in mint-condition, but with all of the 6 horses, and quit reasonable. Here are some pics of it: Recently, i found the 1966 Corgi Toys Catalogue, in which this trailer was pictured... _________________ http://www.collectorsquest.com/collector/1313/willybacoman

| Thanks guys! Yes, i am very happy with it. My two own that i had in the past would have looked much worser then this one. But for that, there are still examples in very new and mint&boxed condition, and that is so for many of those old Corgi Toys. Next to this one, i had the Landrover on the picture of this catalogue to, including a clown and a chimp. Further 2 animal-cages trailer, one with 2 polarbears(from which i found one recently) and one with 2 lions. But there are much more models in this Circus Chipperfields Series... And later on, they made a lot of new models, a bit more modern, but same nice. I have lots of pictures for who is interested in these series. Next to that, Corgi Toys made some great other models, like those from the TV-Series "Daktari", "Chity Chitty Bang Bang","Batman", "The Green Hornet","Kojak","Starsky and Hutch" and much more... _________________ http://www.collectorsquest.com/collector/1313/willybacoman
