Corgi Toys 401 Volkswagen Kever 1300 Motor School

The Volkswagen Beetle 1300 is one of the most iconic cars of the 1960s. Thanks to its robust engineering, easy maintenance, and charming design, the Beetle became a worldwide favorite. Driving schools frequently used this model because it was a reliable and accessible learning vehicle.

Corgi Toys released the Volkswagen 1300 Motor School in 1975 as number 401. The model was released not only as a toy car but also as an educational miniature: the Beetle had working steering and came with cones, allowing children to practice their own "driving lessons." This made the model unique within the Corgi range and particularly popular with aspiring young drivers.

This example is in good condition, and the steering still works perfectly. The steering pin can come loose, but this does not affect the car's steering. Despite this minor detail, it remains a charming and functional model that beautifully showcases Corgi's innovative side.

The Corgi Toys 401 Volkswagen 1300 Motor School is a classic that will appeal to Volkswagen enthusiasts and Corgi collectors alike – a wonderful blend of nostalgia, education, and toy history.
