The Corgi Take-Over
In 1999 the Lledo Company
went into Recievership and the Vanguards (as well as
the Days Gone Range) were bought by Corgi. They have decided to
keep the Vanguards
name and have started to release more Anglia Van Models. These
have been "upgraded" to
include jewelled headlights and fine metal wiper blades. Long may
they keep producing them.
