HOT !VANS Oxford Modello Metallo Diefuso GR004 Van Morris Naso Toro Guardie Scozzesi

Oxford Diecast Metal Replica Model Vehicle GR004 - Bull Nose Morris Van Scots Guards Following the take-over of Corgi by Mattel, and its move of headquarters to Leicester, a group of ex-Corgi employees, led by Lyndon Davies (nicknamed “Taff”), formed a new company, Oxford Diecast, and began manufacturing in 1993 from the old Corgi factory in Swansea, where they also manufactured a number of models on behalf of Corgi.  In 1998 production was moved to a new plant at Neath in Swansea which solely focused on the production of Oxford Diecast products. The main focus in this period was the Oxford Originals range, and a major market was through reader offers in newspapers and magazines. These models were not to scale and designed to ‘fit the box’. They were often limited edition runs supplied with a certificate showing the production run numbers. This model, released in 2003, depicts the crest of the Scots Guards Regiment. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth was famously the Colonel-in-Chief of this historic Regiment. This was one of  a series of models bearing the insignia af famous regiments, and was a Limited Edition of just 5,000 models. It is complete with its numbered certificate.  Near mint condition, in original box and complete with certificate. Box is very good condition, and structurally sound, with no serious rips, splits or creases. Model itself is near mint. See photos - all photos show actual item.
