The Hawk thought he'd died and gone to die-cast heaven when he learnt the details of Corgi's Classic Road Haulage collection, due for release in 2001. In its new Cafe Connection range, Corgi teams up classic haulage vehicles with some of the best-loved names in British roadside cuisine.
Here you can see a WH Malcolm Albion Rover sheeted platform lorry parked up at the Jungle Cafe. Other couplings in the series include: McCall & Greenshields liveried Guy Invincible twin axle trailer at Kate's Cabin; Andrew Wishart & Sons Leyland (LAD) Octopus sheeted platform lorry at the Silver Link Road House; Moreton C Cullimore Foden S21 tipper with gravel load at The Towers: Siddle Cook AEC MkV Mammoth Major platform lorry at the Lazy Trout; and Richard Read (Transport) ERF KV platform lorry at the Coronation Café. Each set comprises a cold cast, hand-painted cafe fascia and a numbered, limited edition postcard certificate of an exclusive picture by transport artist Alan Spillett.
Also due for release in 2001 are further editions to the Eddie Stobart range and a collection of cult tractor units from the 1970s and 80s.
