This is one of the most collectable Wagons in the Wrenn, Basildon range from Period 2 (Triang/Wrenn) Era. Over 5000 were produced between 1969 and 1971, when this was withdrawn by Basildon. Why, who knows? but it was a very good seller.
Be carefull when purchasing this sought after wagon as the "Auto Distributors" paint on the boards tends to crack and peel. As with all period 2 Wagons it has plastic wheels. The Minix Caravan and Car (Ford Anglia without tow hook) came in a variety of colours and some collectors I know have achieved up to10 different combinations. The most sought after colour of the Ford Anglia is Black.
I believe this was only issued in a Period 2 (Triang/Wrenn) box either stamped or labelled both ends of the box. One variation is "Upside Down" stamps on both box ends and I have seen 4 of these in the past years.
