Factory Errors

Fred, V.A.B. was (or is?) a chain of Ford dealers in the Amsterdam area. I don't know whether Meccano Ltd. customised this Transit for them, or dealership staff altered 1,000,000 Transit promo models once they were delivered from Binns Road, but I suspect the former (peeling off stickers would have been pointless when they could just have applied the VAB brand another way). The V.A.B. Transit has a blue interior, my two normal Motorway Services Transits have red interiors, and the strange unfinished one has a gray interior.

Three yellow Market Gardener's Wagons, all of them showing anomalies in the '20' roundel decal's positions. The first one on the left bears no decal at all, as it was probably meant for export. The second shows it partly pasted over the grid, resulting in the brittle film breaking off there. The third one has the transfer pasted 'around the corner', on the side of the body. The orange one on the right is the only one with the decal positioned as it was meant to be.

Thanks for the information on those Transits!
