I thought about this fad when I saw the splendid Leyland Octopus with sideboards in its rare blue and yellow livery. Thirty years ago, these trucks were all the rage, and the prices reflected that. The fad has passed. It's possible that the very high prices deterred collectors at the time. When a product becomes unaffordable, people naturally turn away from it. Prices have come down considerably since then, which is great, but the rarity remains. That's the difference with the models described above. Finding the Leyland Octopus with sideboards in this condition is difficult. This model is fragile, and the slightest flaw is immediately noticeable. Go for it, grab it; you're not likely to see another one like it, unlike the Nicky Toys! The same goes for the Triumph Herald, made for the car manufacturer to be distributed in its dealerships. This model was a promotional order placed with Dinky Toys, who produced several color variations corresponding to those in the catalog. The idea is excellent, and these colorful Heralds look superb in our display cases. The version shown is very elegant. Elegant is also the adjective that suits the AEC luxury coach. I appreciate its late, luminous color combination.
