Introduction
|
|
Guinness
models are always popular and are collected by brewery
transport enthusiasts and breweriana collectors alike.
Once new models are released by the manufacturers they are
quickly 'snapped-up' and the value of some models can double
within a few months of issue.
I
have split the Guinness pages into the odd one or two models
I have from some manufacturers, like Albedo
or
Eligor,
continuing with the large 'fleet' of
Lledo
models and concluding with the (ever-expanding)
Corgi
collection. |

1:43 scale die-cast metal model. Catalogue number 100129, and
made in France. Year of manufacture is not known and the model
is now discontinued. The model was shown in an Eligor leaflet in
the more 'accepted' dark blue colours (click
here to view), however, on issue the model appeared in this
colour scheme. It is not known if a Guinness vehicle ever
appeared in these colours. Does anyone have a dark blue version
of this model in their collection? If so, please email
The Drayman. Acquired for this collection - March
2003. |

Collection - Limited
Edition Boxed Set (1,800 produced? - see below) |
|
|
This set
consists of 5 pieces (Karrier
trolleybus;
Ford Model 'T'
van;
Morris
van;
Foden 'C' Type steam wagon and a
Ford
articulated lorry) in liveries which have not been issued
before. Each model carries a period Guinness
advertisement on it. The set comes in a leatherette
finish box with a signed and numbered Limited Edition
print.
The original advertisement for the set stated that it would
be limited to 1,800.
The print, however, says it is one of 2,500! Does
anyone know if this was just the print, and the set was only
limited to 1,800? Or did Lledo actually release 2,500
of this set? Contact
the webmaster
if you can help. |
