Buses
468 AEC Routemaster Bus
June 1964 - 1965 with 'Corgi' banners
December 1965 - 1972 'Outspan' banners
January 1972 - 1975 (assumed) 'Outspan', Whizzwheels
All Corgi banner models had shaped wheels and jewelled headlamps.
Outspan models had shaped wheels and then cast wheels but late models with cast wheels lost the jewelled headlamps.
The Whizzwheels models had no jewels and a change of staircase was introduced near the end of teh cast wheel editions, from tan to clear plastic. All 468 models had a driver and conductor.
There were several banners available, some quite scarce, some very scarce and for the Australian market a green, cream and brown edition was produced. Here are the banners known to be available on a normal boxed model. Other special promotions were also produced but beyond the scope of this catalogue.
