The Sandstinger is an Ex-Corgi casting that was originally released in the Auto-City Construction 6-Pack in 1994. After it’s Auto City release, it was later introduced into the 1997 Road Repair Series, which was a Mainline segment only available in Europe. The casting depicts a Barford Bison dumper, which were commonly used around Europe and the United States during the 1960s.
