Corgi toys produced a range of small sized die-cast vehicles as Husky toys , which was an exclusive for Woolworths. This range was to inclued an U.N.C.L.E. Piranha sports car .
Corgi toys after the demise of their Husky range , which had been an exclusive range of small sized die-cast vehicles for Woolworths, were to reissue several of the old Husky range as corgi Juniors. This U.N.C.L.E. Piranha sports car was one of them, but rather than retool the model as they did with some of other vehicles in the range, they just stuck a small paper label on the base, while putting it on a new backing card.
Original Price $0.75
Corgi Toys produced a die-cast model of an Oldsmobile which they marketed as the UNCLE Thrushbuster in 1966. This is the more common blue version, though some examples of blue model have metal spotlights on the bonnet , it is more common to find it with chromed plastic spot lights.
This came complete with a Waverley Ring. This plastic ring had a photograph of Solo, which when you tilted it changed to Illya. On Originals of this ring the Image of Illya shows him in a regular shirt NOT A POLO-NECK. The reproduction rings have him wearing a Polo-neck shirt. This example has a reproduction ring. See the white version of the model for an original ring.
