The Corgi 420 Ford Thames "Airborne" Camper is one of the most beloved models Corgi released in the 1960s. The original, released in 1962, was based on the Ford Thames 400E, a light van converted into a campervan in Great Britain by specialist companies like Airborne. The combination of the charming van and campervan made this model unique, a toy that was not only a vehicle but also brought an entire camping scene to life.
Over the years, the 420 Ford Thames Camper became an icon among Corgi collectors. Original examples, especially complete with box, are rare and often valuable today.
To make this classic accessible again, the Corgi Model Club has released a faithful reissue. This reissue respects the original details: the recognizable design, the movable functions, and of course, the beautifully illustrated box that instantly evokes the atmosphere of the 1960s. It offers collectors the chance to relive a piece of history, without the fragility or high prices of the first editions.
This example is in excellent condition and comes with the original reissue box, making it a stunning and complete collector's item. A perfect addition for anyone who wants to cherish the charm of Corgi's golden era.
