Corgi VA10901 Morris J Van – Trumans Bottled Beer

46 GPH was first registered in September 1958 by A.W. Banfield, the proprietor of Tadworth Station Wine Store, a franchisee for Truman’s Beer and Schweppes minerals in Tadworth, Surrey. It was driven by Banfield’s employees Betty Dench and Andrew Burrows until 1967 when it was taken off the road and sold after incurring minor front wing damage. New owner Lester Stock then stored the van untouched in a lock-up garage until 2005 when it was rescued by London Fireman Mike Cotton, a commercial vehicle enthusiast, who began a total restoration of the van to its original livery which is modelled here.
