Corgi 509 Porsche Targa Polizei
The Corgi Porsche Targa Polizei
With black interior and roof panel fitted with Whizzwheels.
The version numbered Corgi 509-A-3a “Porsche 911s Targa” Police car in White body (incl. bottom), Black roof and Red bonnet, 2 side doors and tailgate plus Dutch ‘Rijkspolitie’ livery [waterslide transfers].
Normally the model has an orange interior. It is less common if the interior is complete black – as in this/my model – with a left hand (driver’s) chromed steering wheel. This version with that black interior is presumably made in max. 175 pieces.
The base plate is white painted metal and is marked ‘Made in Gt. Britain’ * in the centre top (seen from the left door side of this model) , ‘CORGI TOYS’ on the first line of the centre middle, ‘WHIZZWHEELS’ on the second line, ‘Porsche Targa 911s’ on the third line, and ‘Pat. 3396/69’ at the centre bottom.
The Corgi 509 model was originally issued in 06-1970 in white and red. But in 1973, the Corgi Netherlands office suggested a Dutch market version to be produced. Corgi Toys (Gr. Britain) shipped up to an estimated 700 model of the No. 509-A1, most of them with an orange interior – because they thought that should be good because the Dutch royal colour (something different as the National colour, red, white & blue) is orange – without any recalls, for modification in the Netherlands for the local market.
A very small number of Dutch modellers then disassembled these models, painted the doors, rear engine bonnet plus the below nose part of the (front) tailgate of this sportscar in a bright highly-visible orange with a flat finish, as the 1:1 police car. Then they added the different waterslide decals on the orange background(s). Then they reassembled these models and the base plate was fixed using genuine Corgi rivets. After that, it was finally repackaged in the original printed Corgi-Toys-509-A-box (now with the wrong German Polizei version model on it). Approximately 175 of these Dutch die cast models were issued with a black interior plus blue flashlight (is Dutch), around 25 were issued with black interior and red flashlight (is ??). So, 200 pieces of the total estimated 700 models are different and rare in opposite of these with orange interior.
The lettering used on the nose of the vehicle is in black outline font and the lettering on the rear is in black full solid fonts.
The term ‘Porsche Targa 911s’ on this die cast model is formally wrong, because the mark of this (sports)car is ‘Porsche’ the specific type is 911 and as sub-type the ‘s’ (so it becomes a 911s) and the dominant roll bar (most times in chrome) was named (only) by Porsche as ‘Targa’ ! Then the result is/was: “Porsche 911s Targa”. 😊 By civilian versions of this sportscar were ventilation slots in that roll bar, but in the 1:1-police-version were no ventilation slots. Supposed that it was not necessary because these police cars drove most times without the black roof, so the policeman could see more by standing still surveying the traffic.
All these die cast models have a white painted roll bar.
The below summery is much shorter because in other lists there are several version of a Porsche 9xx but not specific this one with that specific roll bar named: 911(s) Targa or Targa 911(s).
