Land Rover and 2 Wheel Trailer - Tarmac. Limited Edition of 2000 - Corgi Classics Premium Edition. Over the last century, Tarmac has grown into a major international group of companies, originally all due to an accident that occurred in a small Dervyshire town in 1901. When a barrel of tar fell off a cart and burst over the road, the mess was covered with waste slag from the blast furnaces. Nottingham County Council Surveyor Edgar Purnell Hooley, noticed that this part of the road was hardwearing and dustless, and began experiments mixing slag with tar. By April 1902 he was ready to apply for a patent, and had christened the new material 'Tarmac'. View other product and find out more about Corgi Classics.
