I have a few die-cast miniature buses produced in England
by the LLEDO company that I wish to sell. All MODELS ARE MINT IN
ORIGINAL BOXES. The earlier models also have the respective
plastic accessories (figures, drivers, etc.) that were included
in the box. All of the models range in scale from approx 1/67 to
1/43.

Some people also like to use these models in railroad layouts and
village displays.

All of the liveries on these models are tampo (silk screen) printed,
no labels are used.

The LLEDO company is headed by Jack Odell
(LLEDO is Odell spelled backwords). Jack Odell is one of the founders
of the original Lesney "Matchbox" toy company. When "Matchbox" went
into receivership in the early 1980's and was purchased by a Chinese
firm, Jack bought all of the assembly machines from the old Lesney
factory which were in fact designed by him, at a closeout price.
He then set up his firm LLEDO to produce high-quality yet
reasonable die-cast scale models. His first models were reminiscent
of early "Matchbox" models of Yesteryear.

Please add $4.00 per order for UPS shipping within the continental
U.S. Outside of the U.S., please contact me for Air Mail costs.
