Lledo Models of Days Gone

Diecast Model Vehicle

DG17-025 - AEC Regal Single Deck Bus

Lledo Collectors Club 24 Carat Gold Plated Model

Jack Odell, one of the founders of the Matchbox diecast company, founded Lledo (Odell backwards) in 1982, and launched the "Days Gone" range of models in 1983, serving a market previously popularised by the Matchbox "Models of Yesteryear" series.

The 1932 AEC Regal Bus was introduced to the Days Gone range in 1985, and proved very popular with collectors.

One of Lledo's main revenue streams was from its Collectors Club - a subscription scheme where club members would be sent models each month on a sale or return basis. Members could also receive free models. Members who upgraded to "Gold" Membership received a special 24 carat gold plated model every 6 months. This AEC Bus was the 10th release in this special series.

Excellent pre-owned condition in original box. Box has minor wear, but no serious rips or creases.  Model itself is clean and near mint condition, only being removed from box to photograph. See photos - all photos show actual item.
