The Morestone/Budgie miniatures were similar in scale to the Matchbox 1-75 series with which they competed, although they never quite reached the same casting quality as Lesney.
In red with silver trim, this mail van has 'Royal Mail' and 'E-II-R' cast onto the sides. The deep-set cast metal base is black, and incorporates the rear mudguards. The wheels are grey metal on crimped axles.
This example is good-to-excellent, with light rubbing to raised edges and body lines. The axles have some patches of surface rust.
