A.E.C VAN TYPHOO TEA, Corgi, Made in Great Britain, Die cast Red, 1:60

This diecast model from Corgi depicts an early 20th-century AEC box van in a charming, classic form: a high arched roof, an upright gold radiator grille and separate black mudguards. The side panels feature authentic Typhoo Tea advertising livery with the slogan “Typhoo puts the T in Britain”, while the gold spoked wheels emphasise the period character. The model has a metal body, plastic chassis and straight axles, with no opening parts; the underside bears the markings “CORGI”, “A.E.C. VAN” and “MADE IN GT BRITAIN”. Its length of approximately 92 mm corresponds to an estimated scale of 1:60, and the visual condition is described as good: fresh paint, minor micro-scratches and minimal rubbing on the edges. This is a solid, characterful diecast model with a clear British heritage and nostalgic branding.

Used, collectible diecast model; after restoration it is like new (without a box, unless a box is shown in the photos). We restore models with 3D-printed replacements for missing parts and special paints made for restoring model cars. If the model shows signs of use, it has been intentionally left partly unrestored to keep its individual vintage character. The photos show the actual condition of the model.

The date given in the title or description is not always the date the casting was made. It may refer to the design of the model, the first casting series or the production of the real car. We give the dates the manufacturer states on the base. If in doubt, check all information against the photo of the base of the model.
