These were a range of toys made by Mettoy, the Company famous for the Corgi brand of model cars. The first models appeared in 1964 and were sold exclusively by Woolworth's. They were made to a similar scale as the then current Lesney 1-75 models and the range covered a wide variety of vehicle types. The bodies were made from die cast metal and the bases, wheels and interiors were made from plastic so they were not as robust as the Lesney range. Later the wheels were made from metal and had rubber tyres fitted. The bases were made from chromed plastic and had a U shaped slot at each end for the axles to sit in, These also worked as the suspension springs and were not very strong so when the suspension broke the wheels would disappear up into the body. The range was later renamed to "Corgi Juniors" and when the thinner axles and speedwheels were fitted it was renamed yet again to "Corgi Rockets"
