233 - Heinkel Economy Car Blue Gifts most notably the steering featureIntroduced into the Corgi range in January 1961, this iconic bubble car was available in four different colours pink, orange, red and metallic blue. It was the first ever Corgi to have the by special request flash on its box which in a typically idiosyncratic Corgi way featured an illustration of the car in off white!
