The Foden 'C' type Steam Wagon having a nominal load capacity of 6 tons was a popular vehicle among companies transporting large and/or heavy loads.
It was fast and economical with its 3 speeds which enabled it to comfortably exceed the 25 m.p.h. speed limit of the time.
This power was put to good use by many companies with the addition of a trailer of 3 to 4 tons nominal load capacity.
One such company was Frazer and Frazer of Ipswich who used the Foden for their Furnishing and Warehousing business.

The 'Fraser's' wagon and trailer was released as a Limited Edition in December 1986.
The Frasers' van was the fourth version to join and to make it a little different to the earlier models this one had a matching Frasers' trailer. Some guides list the Frasers' van as number Y27B. The (Y27-1) stayed in production until at least 1992.

Variations/Rarities: All Frasers' vans had a hook added to the baseplate which were inadvertently used for the Pickfords and the Spillers issues. The hook had the "Limited Edition" lettering cast in. The only variation of note for the Frasers version being that the cab roof can be found in white or off white plastic.
