Being a Jim Clark fan aged 7 or 8, I had the Corgi Lotus Racing set with yellow and green Elans, F1 car and a VW pickup and trailer. The Elans had the separate chassis. I took the F1 car to school and raced it down the playground as small boys do.
Sets since seen on ebay (with box) at between £200 and £400 ...
Still got the London Sydney Hillman Hunter and a Solido Ford MKIV. The latter's products were much better replicas than Corgi or Dinky.
