Model A Ford Van - Code 1, 2, or 3 ???

Post by TOYRFIC »

Purchased this a few years ago, was in a Lesney picture box. It has clear windows and the Lesney England base.

Does anyone have any info on this variation?

It is a Code 3 privately applied label. Looks nice though.

Thanks Jim for the reply. It does look good with these labels so I will still display him next to the "Champion" labelled vans.

I was told it was a trial model Jim, many years ago. forget who I got it off now but was a reliable source at the time when I was collecting this range.
