In 1965, the Mettoy company produced the first Ford Thames Ice Cream Van models. The basis for the model was Ford Anglia. To display subtitles in your language at the bottom of the video, please press C on your computer or the three dots on your mobile in the video.
This toy has gained many followers. It was sold with two figurines. A year later, a version with a cranked music box was created, but without figures. My model comes from the first year of production. Ford did not have figures and I was unable to make a copy. I made a box which is a modification of the version with a music box. My model had been exposed to the sun for a long time, the windows were yellow and dull, the tires were nonexistent and the cardboard parts faded. I have made a comprehensive renovation. I made a graphic of the stickers that were sold with the model and cast new tires in black dyed polyurethane. Thank you for watching the movie, I publish videos with the repair of cars on YouTube on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
