CORGI 1/50 DAF 95 CURTAINSIDE McAULIFFE




McAuliffe Trucking Company is one of the largest carriers in Ireland and is located in Castleisland, Co. Kerry in a state-of-the-art facility. McAuliffe Trucking Company provides distribution services to leading Irish companies, with over 50 years of combined experience in the haulage and distribution industry. This DAF 95 is called ‘Children of Lir’ after a well-known story about a King called Lir whose children were turned into swans for 900 years by their evil step-mother. After finding out about this, Lir turned his wife into an ugly moth. It took the ringing of a Christian bell by a monk (some say St. Patrick himself) to turn them human again. Hauliers of Renown is the flagship of Corgi’s road transport range of die-cast models - amazingly detailed, each model is a tabletop replica of a truck from the UK's most famous haulage fleets. Every model, is recreated in superb 1:50 scale and includes a numbered, Limited Edition 'Tachograph' Certificate and customised presentation packaging. The range includes both modern and classic cabs and trailers from some of the best known British hauliers. Shop here
