Hi. I am new to forums, so I am unsure if anyone will be able to help me but here goes...
My father purchased a Mark 1 GTI Golf in 2011. It had many previous owners, and we didn't realise anything abnormal about this purchase. He was then given a Corgi Vanguard model as a gift, and we were shocked to discover that the number plate matched the exact car that we owned. We can only presume that his car had been used previously to make the model.
I have tried contacting Corgi Vanguard but to no avail, but I am trying to understand the history with this car, and the reason why this particular car was deemed suitable to base this model on? I tried to find out why certain cars are used but Corgi Vanguard was unable to give me any answers.
I am not sure whether this forum will have the answers, but any ideas on where I can ask to find out this information would be greatly appreciated. It would be amazing to find out the answer, as I think this is so interesting.
