Historical Background

The original Ecurie Ecosse Racing Car Transporter became famous during the late 1950s and early 1960s as it transported the Scottish racing team's Jaguar D-Types to circuits across Europe. Built on a Commer chassis and finished in the team's distinctive metallic blue livery, it quickly became one of the most recognisable support vehicles in motorsport.

Corgi introduced the 1126 Racing Car Transporter in 1961 as part of its prestigious Corgi Major range. With working features, realistic detailing and impressive size, it became one of the company's most celebrated models and remains a highly desirable classic among collectors today.

Since its launch in 1956, Corgi Toys has been one of Britain's most iconic diecast manufacturers. Renowned for innovation, opening features and exceptional detail, Corgi set new standards for model vehicles with its famous slogan, "The Ones with the Windows." Today, authentic reissues allow collectors to enjoy some of the brand's most celebrated classics, faithfully recreated for a new generation of enthusiasts.
