Simon Snorkel Fire Engine Corgi '80 Juniors 1:87 Fire Engine

The Simon Snorkel Fire Engine diecast model is a classic diecast model depicting a compact fire engine in 1:87 scale. The body is finished in an intense red colour, clearly emphasising the vehicle's emergency-service character. The lower base is made of yellow plastic, creating a contrast with the metal body section. The vehicle features a yellow equipment element in the form of a movable fire-fighting boom, which can be positioned in different ways, adding interest to display and play with the model. Its length of approximately 77 mm makes it convenient to display among small specialist vehicle models. The simple, distinctive silhouette includes a crew cab, rescue bodywork and a raised lifting element. This example comes from British production in the 1980s and has retained the form typical of the miniature utility models of that period. Its condition is described as loose, indicating a model removed from its packaging and intended for loose storage or display.

Used, collectible diecast model; after restoration it is like new (without a box, unless a box is shown in the photos). We restore models with 3D-printed replacements for missing parts and special paints made for restoring model cars. If the model shows signs of use, it has been intentionally left partly unrestored to keep its individual vintage character. The photos show the actual condition of the model.

The date given in the title or description is not always the date the casting was made. It may refer to the design of the model, the first casting series or the production of the real car. We give the dates the manufacturer states on the base. If in doubt, check all information against the photo of the base of the model.
