I'm not sure now what I was looking for when I came across this little gem. This is another of those models that I've never seen in 1:1 form and chances are I won't, but I found incredibly intriguing. I love the color.

Neat John, a memory from my youth in Britain. Common vehicle back then.

As most Forumites know, this van was done in the 1950s by Dinky. The variations I recall and currently have in my collection are the Royal Mail van and Capstan Cigarettes van.

@gdh I have the IH Van with the IH parts designation on the sides. Good eye in noticing the similarities to the Morris.
