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, taking over a market previously popularised by the
Matchbox "Models of Yesteryear" series. Models produced by the
Enfield-based company became popular among collectors worldwide.
Lledo
specialised in the Promotional market, making models for companies and
organisations who wanted to have their own logo or livery on a model.
These
models depict a 1928 Karrier E6 Trolley Bus, a model that was
introduced into the "Days Gone" range by Lledo in 1990, and proved a
popular choice among collectors. Commissioned by Models of Perfection, these examples were released in 1991 to mark the 5th Donington Park International Toy & Train Extravaganza. Two versions were made - one that shows "Donington" on the destination board, and the other one with "1991". This was a strictly Limited Edition, with only 275 of each version produced.
Very good pre-owned condition, in original boxes, and complete with certificates. Boxes are very good, with light wear but no serious rips or splits. Models themselves are very good condition, only being removed from their boxes to photograph. See photos - all photos show actual items.
