PACKAGING

Box 1 Vacuum Formed Insert

All early models were packaged in this box with different inserts were introduced to accommodate the models - the box appeared with the first models in 1993. The internal vacuum formed insert was used on the Bullnose, Model T Van, Model T Truck and the Thornycroft bus. Where products were supplied directly to a customer via a promotion then it was normal to replace this box with a brown corrugated mailer carton. Club members usually received their product inside Box 1.

Box 2 UK & Export

This replaced Box 1 and came in  maroon (UK) and green (International) colours and was introduced in 1997. Due to the smaller overseas volumes at this time, considerably fewer numbers of box 1 were produced and therefore their are rarer to find. On occasions the green box was substituted and used in the UK market for various offers.

Box 3 UK & Export

The replacement for box 2  came in two colours maroon (UK) and blue (International). It was used from mid 1998 to early 1999.

Box 4

This is the latest box that has been introduced and comes with cardboard inserts. There has been a slight change with some of the copy that appears on the box. For certain promotions you will find a smaller John Bull that appears with a Eurohook slot
