A collection of twenty-two vintage-style model vehicles from two prominent British manufacturers, Matchbox and Lledo. The Matchbox portion consists of sixteen items from the Models of Yesteryear series, presented in their signature gold-coloured window display boxes. Identified models within this group include the Y-3 1912 Ford T, Y-9 Simplex-50, Y-17 Hispano-Suiza, 1932 Bugatti Type 51, and 1937 Talbot. The Lledo contingent includes five models from the Days Gone and Promotional Model series in tan window boxes. Notable liveries include the Isle of Wight Steam Railway and Plymouth Argyle Football Club double-decker buses, alongside a red and yellow delivery van. All vehicles are constructed from die-cast metal with plastic components.
Condition report:
The models appear to be in mint or near-mint condition, remaining in their original factory packaging. The cardboard window boxes show varying levels of light shelf wear, minor creasing to the edges, and some dust accumulation. Occasional retail price stickers are present on the transparent window film.
