Wessex Smalltalk from Barry Lloyd

Nice newsletter again - they are very active over there!  One small correction though:

"...couple of Volvo buses – the B71 launched in 1962. Tekno made the models in a wide range of liveries between 1962 and 1972. The moneybox version was only made between 1965 and 1970 as a standard, plus 16 different bank and financial institution liveries. Brian’s liveried version doesn’t appear in his Tekno reference book..."

Tekno made 100s of versions of the bus bank - for whatever local bank wanted them.  So there are 100s of versions, all Code 1!

Thank you John. Quite an unusual assortment of topics this time. While not models, the British coin presentation proved quite interesting. I do have a few Elizabeth 1st era coins so this caught my attention.

Here's my Motocart, purchased for the princely sum of $1.25 many more years ago than I can remember. As originally packaged, there was a rectangular card 'cargo' used to cushion the rear dumper during shipment. I wonder how many of these have survived?

I have this one Harv but not the square card you mention; in fact I never knew about it.
