Matchbox No.42 Bedford Evening News Van in dark yellow with various decals and grey plastic wheels.

First issued in 1957, this lovely example is in very near mint condition, with a few light chips to the paint. The decals are all in near perfect condition. For the best idea see the pics.

The box is original, complete and very near mint, a lovely clean feeling box, with just a little light age wear to it, 9/10. See the pics.

We've been fortunate this year in buying some great Matchbox 1-75 collections and here we have another one where the models were all bought when issued and carefully collected and stored.
