The 'Model of Yesteryear' Foden Steam Lorry (Y27) has always proved a popular model. It first appeared in Pickfords livery (of which speciallists note various changes to the body casting) and in 1980 in a most attractive Frasers design.
The Frasers version is certainly worth buying while stocks are still around, but more importantly, because the Fraser model comes with a trailer, the lorry itself needed to be supplied with a towing hook. At first only a handful of such Pickfords with hooks appeared, but more have been available recently indicating that a reasonable production re-run was undertaken by Matchbox.
If a Pickfords with hook interests you, it could be best to buy while examples are around-but do not be forced to pay slly prices. Buy it now
