Lledo Promotional Model - LP173-1001 - Bedford CA Van

Description: Lledo Collectibles Diecast ModelSt Kew Collection LP173-1001Bedford CA Van Limited Edition - No. 1229 of only 5,000 Jack Odell, one of the founders of the Matchbox diecast company, founded Lledo (Odell backwards) in 1982, and launched the "Days Gone" range of models in 1983, taking over a market previously popularised by the Matchbox "Models of Yesteryear" series. Lledo went bankrupt in 1999, and the naming rights and model range were bought by rival diecast maker Corgi, which continued producing Lledo models in China until 2005, under the name "Lledo Collectibles Ltd." A major part of Lledo's business, both before and after the sale to Corgi, was the promotional market, where companies and organisations would commission editions of the models in their own liveries. This model was issued in 2003, after Corgi had taken over production, as one of a number of models produced exclusively for St Kew Dairy Farm in Cornwall. This was a Limited Edition of just 5,000 models, and the model comes complete with a Certificate showing that this was model No. 1229. Excellent used condition. In original box and complete with Certificate. Box has minor storage wear but no serious rips or splits and no taped-up corners. Model itself is clean and near mint condition.
