Description: | The model is of a 1950 Bedford 30CWT truck. The main colour is white, with green wheel arches. The words 'Walsall Illuminations est. 1951' appear on the sides and just above the cab, with dates of the illuminations also. The manufacturers label is underneath. The issue of the truck was limited to 1000 certified models and a card issued with each - this one has the number '0016' printed in red. The model is complete with packaging, consisting of a cardboard box with moulded plastic casing which the truck fits in to. The box is cream in colour with a clear plastic front enabling the contents to be seen. On the rear of the box, below a picture of a car, are the words 'This die-cast model has been made with care and attention to fine detail by skilled craftsmen. It is one of a range of promotional models made exclusively by Lledo PLC to special order'.
