This model was sold by MOKO and comes in various forms, motorised, blade or no blade but wasn't made by Lesney.

I also have the soap box cart and story goes they made 1 gross (144) and wasn't popular so stopped it. Dave is right in the fact the 'Coronation Coach' was made for the Festival of Britain - hence the King & Queen in the coach ( so not Queen Elizabeth, never has been) But the King died and Lesney was left with a big loss till the Coronation came along and lo and behold they used the same coach so a quick chop off at the knees and Kingy was gone and the Queen went on her own !

Here are some of mine Dean



one gets obsessed with them sometimes !!!

Nice group shots. Any idea what the retail price was of the Boxed Prime Mover with dozer and trailer when it was originally released?
