Tiny Tuesday - Lord Ted

It's miserable out there today and due to blow up to a force 8 this afternoon. I did go out early this morning before the weather deteriorated  and saw a few birds in the hedgerows, but the light wasn't good enough for any decent shots.
As it's Tiny Tuesday I thought I'd join in with another car brought over by my father in law at the weekend. It's a Lledo die-cast delivery van for Lord Ted Cigars for Gentleman. It's a lovely looking car, but I can't find anything on the internet about Lord Ted so have to assume it's a made up name. 
Lledo set out to specialize in replicating early Matchbox series styles, particularly the Models of Yesteryear range. Odell and Russell bought machinery from the Universal company, which had purchased the Matchbox plant and shipped it to Macau. The tooling they purchased was re-shipped back to Enfield, England where in April 1983 the new Days Gone range was launched. The name is a nice continuation of Matchbox's nostalgic "Yesteryear" theme.
The first Lledo models appeared on the market in early 1983. These were a horse-drawn tram, a horse-drawn milk float, a horse-drawn delivery van, a stagecoach-like omnibus, and a horse-drawn fire engine (Force 1988, pp. 9–12, 128). One of the more popular models was the Ford Model T van introduced later in the year. More on Wikipedia if you're interested.
