Die Cast Cali

[RosscoPCole74]

Has anyone found any die cast T6.1 Californias out there, preferably in silver. We have a small collection of VW campers when we had our previous Transporter conversion, but would like something similar to what we have.

Not a Cali but I have a Corgi Yesteryear model of my “real“ 1965 Split Screen Camper. I stumbled across it in a Brighton model shop window … same colour as my van and on looking closer it had my registration…
DCG 9C! Apparently Corgi liked to base their classics on real vehicles.

Very cool. Was it made before you got the splitty?

No apparently the “man from” Corgi got a photo of my van at a club rally from the Split Screen Van Club .

I did send a tongue in cheek message suggesting some form of recognition! They sent me the Corgi….. so I ended up with 2.
