This site is Dedicated to my Best friend Brian Walker the king of variations. Without Brian my collecting would never have been so much fun. Over twenty years he watched my back we had so many good times at toyshows in the USA and here in the UK. A true friend in every sense of the word.
Miss you my good friend.

The site has just had a complete update with over 5000 pictures and I am presently working on the text along with some variations and detailed pictures.
There is still under 30% of the collection online along and it is a massive task I am working on a whats new and for sale page.
Please be patient it will take a while to get all the items online for your enjoyment.
A little bit of information
this is mainly a picture information site, While collecting toy vans over the years I have found myself spending time looking for packaging variations as well as the actual models. Some of the artwork from the 50s and 60s is quite amazing remembering there were no computer to help with the design at the time.
As a result of my endless hunt the collection has grown a lot larger than I expected it to in the early days. From around 1994 when the internet became available for collectors I would say my collection has grown Five fold.
Picture's and information.
I am happy for collectors to copy picture's of the site or even link to it. But if you do all I ask is that you please give the site or myself a mention when you do this. But please no copying pictures for sale or using these pictures your own items on auction sites as this is a free information site and want to keep the information free and without charge for like minded people.
PLEASE NOTE
At the moment the site is mainly made up of pictures and I will increase the information side of things as i get time.
I will Trade and swap and am only to happy to help toy-van collectors with variations.
