KARRIER bANTAM 'LUCOZADE' VAN |
Another trip out for the durable Karrier Bantam light truck. There were two Karrier Bantams released in 1957, one was a new casting for the Smiths 1 ton van which was around for years in a number of guises, the other was the open sided version of this one. That itself was a rehash of an old pre-Corgi Mettoy which I've shown with the '57 model here: Link
Putting the models side by side you can see where the casting has been altered, but underneath they are the same model. This is a nice model and putting the roller shutter on the side was a neat touch. The Commer Walls & ERF Moorhouses vans use a back body with no openings - that was no fun to play with. If its a wagon you have to be able to put things in it and cart them around.
