Yesteryear Collection



1990 saw the introduction of the (Y31-1) 1931 Morris Courier in the red livery of Kemp's Biscuits.

Livery: (Tampo)
'KEMP'S' and 'BISCUITS' in gold within black outline with 'KELCEDA WORKS LONDON N7' in gold within gold coachlines on both sides of van and rear doors
'BISCUITS OF REAL GOODNESS' in gold on both cab doors.
'KEMP'S' in gold with black outline within gold coachlines on front van panel.

Variations/Rarities: Originally there was a problem with the printing of the gold border as the recessed lines made it difficult to tampo in the groove so 2mm was removed from each end by filling it in.
A small number of the unmodified models were released so they tend to be a little harder to find.

Total production was 48,438.
