A Century of Cars

This is a collection of models issued by Hachette as a partwork 'A Century of Cars' started in 2002. 80 cars were made, later extended to 90. The models were sourced from the Corgi and Solido ranges, with the Corgi models representing a variety of scales. Many of the Corgi issues were actually ex-Lledo models, primarily from the Vanguards range, but also including at least one Days Gone model. The Corgi models were generally simplyfied with plain bases, castings adjusted to remove excess fixing points (eg for wing mirrors), chrome effect headlamps in place of clear lenses, etc.

Norev provided a few of the models, as well.
