The Beatles models is the AEC Routemaster bus in Liverpool Corporation livery. Enthusiasts know that back in the 60s and 70s the Routemaster was a strictly London-only bus, but don't blame Corgi. There was an insistence from certain people that Routemasters ran in Liverpool, so Corgi had to produce its Routemaster in Liverpool's colours. Of course, the Leyland Atlanttean would have been far more authentic.
However, since this series is to celebrate The Beatles, few will probably worry uch about the actual bus chosen. The destination is, of course, Penny Lane, and the registration numbers is 'BEAT 1'. On the sides are advertisements which we believe are shots from A Hard Day's Night. Buy it now
