Matchbox Models of Yesteryear

Vintage Diecast Model

Y12-3 - 1912 Ford Model T Van

Royal Wedding 1981 - Code 3

1:35 Scale - approx. 9cm length

Boxed

Based on the undying and sturdy Model T chassis, this robust and efficient van served many a tradesman throughout the 1910s and 1920s, the basic shape not changing for almost 20 years.

This diecast replica is based on one of Lesney's Matchbox Models of Yesteryear. Made in 1981 to commemorate the wedding of Prince Charles and Diana Spencer, it is designated a "Code 3" because, although it was manufactured by Lesney, it has been modified by a third party, so cannot be considered an official Lesney product.

This model was a Limited Edition, and it has the unique number 070.

Good pre-owned condition, in original box. Box has some wear and minor creasing, but no serious rips or splits. Model itself is excellent, with no apparent damage. See photos - all photos show actual item.
