Description
Add this rare piece of die-cast history to your collection! This is a Vintage Lesney Matchbox Series No. 62 “Rentaset” TV Service Van, manufactured in England circa the mid-1960s. A standout example for collectors, this van features the highly sought-after factory double-applied transfer quirk on the side panel—a unique production anomaly that distinguishes it from standard issues and makes it a prized find for Regular Wheels specialists and advertising die-cast enthusiasts alike.
The van presents well for its age with an original cream matte finish showing only light playwear and minimal edge chips.

Base is clearly marked ” Lesney TV Service Van, Made in England.” Note: Van only; no accessories or box included.
Whether you are building a specialized Regular Wheels set, collecting vintage TV advertising toys, or seeking a better-condition upgrade over heavily worn examples, this van delivers authenticity and character.
