Notes

This scarce model is cast in aluminium and has the complete wording “EXPRESS HORSE VAN” “HIRE SERVICE” on both sides and “EXPRESS” above the cab windows. Just the occasional little mark may be seen at some raised details. The maroon paint finish has a fine lustrous finish, showing that this model has been carefully stored and rarely handled.
