Hornby recently celebrated their centenary, and released replicas of some of their earlier products. One of these was the VW van with their name on it. HOWEVER, this one is actually an original from way back when, photographed today on my rather neglected industrial layout! Also in this pictures are some old Matchbox models (slightly over-scale?) – we had a white A50 , and I learned to drive on it (dreadful gear change – the famous editor of Motor Sport, Bill Body, commented at the time that ‘the man who designed this gearbox should quickly be found other employment!).
