| Previously Unrecorded Bedford OB Coach Identified |
| Brian Mitchell has contacted me with details of a Bedford OB Coach he has acquired, the model appears not to have been reported before and is from a run of 5000 certificated models produced for the Finnish Postal operator Posti. The model was released during 2006 to mark the company's Jubilee and according to their website has now sold out. I've allocated the model reference number CP42605 although there is no confirmation of this on the packaging. Although this is the standard OOC OB casting the box carries Copyright text for Lledo Collectibles on its base.  |
