The second livery on the Foden was Hövis Bread and it was released in 1985. This livery was released as a Limited Edition.
At one time the canopy was to have been replaced by a load of grain sacks but the idea was shelved until 1990, when it appeared on the 'Joseph Rank' model.
Although the Hövis van was released as a Limited Edition at least 100,000 were made.

Livery: (Tampo)
'HÖVIS WEEKLY BULLETIN' in white on brown and 'ENTICES & SUFFICES' in brown on white and brown with white crossroads sign post on both sides of wagon.
'HÖVIS' in white on both cab doors.
(Label)
'HÖVIS' in white on brown oval on both sides of canopy.

Variations/Rarities: The yellowy cream canopies can vary a little in the depth of the colour, as can the wheels. The tan canopy and cab roof variation is probably the hardest of any Foden wagon to find.
