HOT !VANS Oxford Diecast Model CS031 Bedford Van Robin Starch Edizione Limitata

Oxford Diecast Metal Replica Model Vehicle CS031 - Bedford Delivery Van Robin Starch Limited Edition 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.  Oxford Diecast have largely ignored traditional retail channels for selling their models, and over the years have developed two main streams of income. Firstly is the production of promotional models, commissioned by companies or organisations who want to have their own logos or liveries on the models, and, secondly, they have operated a collectors' club, with models being sold exclusively to club members. Models were often produced to fit in with thematic collections, and one of these groups was the "Corner Shop" series, depicting vehicles in the liveries of, or carrying advertising for household name brands and products. This Bedford van depicts a delivery vehicle for Robin Starch. This was a Limited Edition, with only 1,500 produced, and it comes with its own uniquely-numbered certificate, showing this was Model No. 293.  Excellent pre-owned condition, in original box and complete with certificate. Box is good condition, with some minor wear but structurally sound, with no serious rips, splits or creases and no taped-up corners. Model itself is clean and excellent condition.
