Yesteryear Collection

This Aldershot & District Traction Co. Ltd. is the legendary series of 21 Code 3 models using matchbox models of yesteryear, re-manufactured by AV Models.
Released in 1980's/90's, each livery was limited to less than 750.
The models come with their own original Certificate of Authenticy stating the model number in the run of the Limited Edition.
All the models in the collection are hand built and painted in batches, using YESTERYEARS as the source of components.
Obtaining identical Y27 base model yesteryears is now just about impossible hence slight variations have arisen, and will continue to do so.
Loads can also vary in content.
