The set is housed in a red cardboard presentation box with a pictorial inner flap showing a black and white photograph of distillery workers with barrels bearing the marks W.A. Gilbey Ltd, Glenlivet, and the date 1968. Also included is one Vanguards limited edition Austin A40 Van in Thames Valley livery, one Lledo Exchange and Mart horse-drawn delivery wagon with its specific red and black window box marked Every Thursday since 1868, and two individual Lledo Days Gone vehicles in original window boxes, one featuring Taunton Cider livery and a white and yellow van labelled The Bygone Days of Road Transport Recaptured for you to Collect. The models are constructed from die-cast metal with plastic components.
Condition report:
The vehicles appear to be in excellent to near mint condition, showing no signs of play wear and remaining within their original packaging. The outer boxes exhibit minor signs of age and storage wear, such as light scuffing to corners and edges, and some slight crushing to the transparent window plastic on the individual Days Gone models. The Vanguards box retains a contemporary adhesive price label.
