Moon Buggy Corgi 811

About Moon Buggy Corgi 811

The Corgi James Bond Moon Buggy featured in the movie Diamonds Are Forever and was inspired by the actual NASA vehicle with some notable extras i.e pincer arms were added as the producers didn't find the design exiting enough these modifications also resulted in a good corgi toy with better playability enhanced by an opening orange cockpit and rotating satellite Dish

What's interesting

The version in the movie was built on a rear-engined Corvair chassis, it reached road speeds on location in Las Vegas before it's fibreglass tyres were all too quickly destroyed
