Daimler Ambulance - 14a |
|
| I've no idea where
this one came from, it has just always been around, I've owned it ever since I was a
little kid, it is tiny and fun, an
excellent little toy. The full size version of the Daimler DC27
Ambulance had a half-ton slab of concrete in the floor to give a
smoother ride - not a lot of people know that, and an interesting fact
from this website:
Moko Lesney Matchbox 1-75 Series - invaluable site for researching
early Lesney products. So, 14a the first version of the Daimler ambulance was first sold in 1955, to be replaced by a slightly larger casting of the same vehicle in 1958. the earlier one is smaller at 49mm and does not have a baseplate. They are not particularly rare and there are no hard to find versions to look for. |
