Made-for-I side indicators but interesting that they're small and round - compare depiction on the Politoys model![[Image: politoys507mk1abluetanint5.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/politoys507mk1abluetanint5.jpg) - rectangular and set further back. Was there a change in format, and if so can it be dated? As far as I know the model (#507) came out in 1965, replacing previous plastic version (#78) from 1964 which had no side indicators. If anyone's interested in toy Cortinas, this Politoys is superb apart from a slightly too straight front. Everything opens, and I think it's the best 1960s-made model, well ahead of eg Dinky, Norev, Eligor etc. (But don't buy its Russian reissue - poorly assembled from worn tooling). |
