Sunbar ◊ 2006-12-18 17:28	datsunZ wrote Ah,it's true,commercial vehicles by Ford UK were named Thames Thames 7cwt van from 1961, but not all were sold under the name 'Thames' rather than 'Ford'. For two years from 1965, all models of the van were designated Anglia, and the name 'Thames' was discontinued. Production of the Anglia van came to an end in November 1967
dsl ◊ 2015-07-27 02:14	According to info sheet with this Corgi model, Royal Mail had 3 batches of these - 1964 (2000), 1966 (900) and 1967-68 (1250). 2nd and 3rd batches would be Ford Anglia. It's also possible from a handful of photos that the 1st batch had black wheels and later batches had silver, but not confirmed. Also from that model info, it seems that the model (SMG 882F from 3rd batch) had 1198cc option, which means 309E instead of 997cc 307E. No info whether all Mail batches had 1198cc, but it was an option for both 5cwt and 7cwt from Oct 62. So am going to enter this silver wheel PO Telephones livery as 3rd batch Anglia 309E.
