I had one and put it on here for a charity donation. Can't remember who got it now.

I have one. I can't remember how much they were. I saw it on the telly and told my mum and she got it for me. Told her it was a Burnley bus so it took ages for them to find it when she phoned to buy it :lol: .

Yup, I've got one.
I think they were quite few and far between but I'm sure Corgi relaunched it in their "Classics" range so it's not that hard to get hold of.
£20 odd, I think.

Mmm, gone up a bit. Still worth having.
Mine looks great alongside my Arthur Garnett, a Colne modeller from years back, handpainted BCN buses.
Sad, I know, but....

It's one of my favourite possessions. Cost about £30.

They used to be a bit pricier (and far trickier to track down) in pre-internet days but online selling has driven prices down and availability up.

The one thing I asked for from my grandad's house when he died

Now it has pride of place in my son's bedroom - named him Jack for my grandad

Me too, if I remember correctly, BFC objected to Corgi selling them, so they bought Corgis stock and no more were made, making it a rarity. I bought mine from the much missed Arthur Garnett.

Had mine over 30 years, funnily enough it recently resurfaced from packing after my relocation to Northumberland and is proudly sitting in the lounge again.

I've got one ...

It's catalogue number is 34101, in the Corgi Classic series. Mine is from 1995, but I don't know if they were produced in the sixties initially or not ... can anyone enlighten us ?
