Yesteryear Collection - Romford Brewery

Issued as a Limited Edition the livery is that of a brewery in Romford which in 1986 was not far from the Matchbox factory.

Livery: (Tampo)
'ROMFORD BREWERY CO.' in gold within gold coachline on truck sides.
Company logo in black and gold on one end of transverse barrel.

Variations/Rarities: A small batch of 'Romford Brewery' models which were distributed through Woolworth and Tesco stores in the UK had ruby red seats with either black or ruby red radiator grilles.
The colour of the barrels is identical to the final 'Lowenbrau' issue.

Important Note: Other variations undoubtedly exist but remember the plastic parts are easily interchangeable between this model and the Y13 Crossley.
