Hello everyone!

Found this about two years ago in rural Oxfordshire, never seen another...

That's unusual with the passengers on view, this idea was used on early tinplate toy buses and cars, but I have not seen it used on modern toys, but I must say what a good idea and something other companies could have adopted.

Very different to the well known Hilton special in Hilton promo box. Never seen another one like yours.
A few London bus promos exist, more Code 3 models but fun to collect. The positive thing is,
not so much London bus promos like the Matchbox Londoner invasion!!!

Anybody knows something about this Honeywell pacesetters/pacemaker meeting or company??

Hi Wolfgang,

I've tried researching the company and event but there appears to be very little information online....

Spookily this came from the same seller, maybe it was held at the London Hilton?

It is pretty cool isn't it? Much better than the Matchbox version

Sorry but I can't agree the matchbox is far superior IMHO I like husky, junior's & thin wheeled wizzwheels but these are too "toy like " for me

Hey Fixer!

No worries, would be a dull old world if we all liked the same things, love the Matchbox bus too (I have a few!) but just prefer the Junior one

I only have the kensington hilton bus.........

Take your Kensington Hilton out of the box and the other side normally reads London Hilton..........

Nice box for this model and this one was easy to find in the past, but not seen many in the last years.
Think its maybe a code 3, not issued with that box from Mettoy....! But very attractive!
