Description
Description
Corgi's Vanguards Cortina Mk4 in Venetian Red is the 2.0S, the sporting trim rather than the plusher Ghia, modelled on a real car sold new in May 1977.
That car was later rescued and rebuilt by a family bodyshop in Galway, and the strip-down showed a genuine low-mileage example beneath years of neglect.
On the shelf, the deep red four-door body sits on silver wheels over a dark interior, and it pairs naturally with Corgi's separate 2.3 Ghia release in Regency Green.

Scale compares the model's size to the real object. A larger second number means a smaller model—for example, 1:64 is smaller than 1:18. Check the listed dimensions for the exact size of the model.
At 1:43, 1 cm on this model stands for 43 cm on the real thing.
