Corgi Ford Model T Van Lyons Tea

...we discovered a couple of corgi model cars one was a model of a ford model T van with Lyons tea advertising on its side. Corgi is a Northampton firm that started making colorful pressed metal toys in 1930. In 1956 the first corgi model cars appeared. These cars are now collector's pieces. The corgi Lyons tea van that I found was made around 1985. It was made as a collector's model. These cars are not really made for young children but for those ...
...the attraction in these old corgi classic model vans I expect like my dad I shall put it away in a cupboard the grandchildren too young to appreciate it fully yet. This model van was produced as a limited edition not sure how many were produced Maybe one day this might be a valuable antique but I am not holding my breath. Just recently I have seen this toy for £9.99 at http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CORGI-TOYS-C865-5-FORD-MODEL-T-VAN ...
