This is a Corgi 1163 Human Cannonball Truck The model replicates the flamboyant "Le Great M, issued as part of the Jean Richard Circus series in the early 1970s. The model replicates the flamboyant "Le Great Marvo" truck used in circus acts, complete with a tilting cannon to launch the silver-suited stunt figure skyward. This design captures the colorful spectacle of European traveling circuses of the era, making it one of the most iconic and whimsical Corgi circus vehicles ever produced.

The model itself is Mint, never played with, and retains brilliant factory paintwork and decals. The chrome details are sharp, the wheels and tires are fresh, and sparkling human cannonball figure—rare to find in this condition. The toy has the look and feel of being untouched since leaving the factory. SEE PICS!

The original window box is graded Near Mint: the colors remain rich and vibrant, the plastic window is clear, and only a small corner flap tear keeps it from Mint grade. Otherwise, just very mild shelf wear is present. The display presence is outstanding—this box looks like it was printed yesterday. This is a top-tier example for collectors, with both vehicle and packaging preserved to remarkable standards given that it's 50+ years old! SEE PICS!
