This toy is one of 'em from that era, when Corgi would slap a sticker & plastic figure on any old vehicle in it's range,to create a quick money spinner from a popular T.V. license of the time...despite, or maybe because of that, this beaten up old thing is a charming addition to my collection, & even better is the fact it cost less than £5 in total to purchase

Thank's for letting me show it off here, & hope this has brought back some happy memories for us (older) forum members here
Cheers T'shot

This one is much better than the ones that had just the name on the vehicle, because at least includes a Hulk escaping from the truck (and not driving it; I also remember some which had as drivers charas who would never drive a car).
That practise is still found nowadays; I remember to have seen a Megaman X pickup truck some years ago. It included some decals of Megaman X4 charas, but nothing else to identify it with the Maverick Hunters or Sigma.

I don't remember these. I do remember the Corgi Starsky and Hutch car as well as a Kojak one. Plus why does the Hulk have a lazy eye?

Just bad sculpting I think...well it does date from 1979, I think it adds something it's charm myself.
I've not got the Kojak one (yet),remember this one?

I got excited when I read the title, I thought you were talking about Hulk Hogan's return to wrestling with TNA. Damn it.
I think that the antique shop in my town has that 007 Lotus for sale..? If anyone really wants one of these let me know and I will go and ask for a price on it.
