Lee Crocker, country manager, said: “For over 25 years, Cobi has been producing construction bricks, with an emphasis on scaled military vehicles including tanks, planes and ships. The introduction of Willys Jeep is another important historical licence and adds further strength to the brand and the forth coming D-Day 80th Anniversary.”
