Seeking information on this Code 3 manufacturer.... I have recently obtained two models of 1922 Fodens modified into Code 3 War Dept vehicles - I suspect I might have a couple more stacked away at home or in storage. The models come in the standard maroon box bearing three gold labels:
1. Code 3 Collectors Model Edition (lower front left)
2. Collectors Model Limited Edition No 70 of 400 Not Produced by Matchbox in this Livery (Top Front left)
3. MIJIPED Models, 88 Byron Street, Loughborough, Leics. LE11 0JW, Tel: 0509-212295 (top left rear)
Googling just brings up a list of previously auctioned items on eBay, Vectis, Derhams, etc - they seem to have made a variety of models, not just WD vehicles.
Here are the two I've just bought....
