You are considering a Matchbox Rentaset TV Service Van, no. 62, made by Lesney. I believe the year of manufacture was 1965. Either my brother or I bought it. It has been sitting in the Collecter's case since probably 1968 or so. It has the ladder, and it has all three television sets. As you can see, it does not have the antenna. Please ignore the differing colors in the pictures. It is the same unit. Two different cameras, one flash, one not. It has normal signs of use. The front bumper has had paint rubbed off. There is minor chipping of paint on raised edges. The decal on the left side is 100%. The decal on the right side has a minor piece missing low on the TV and just touching the S on the word Service. Tires are good and roll freely. The sliding door on the back is flexible on slides up and down easily. The ladder comes off easily and stays on well. Not mint condition, but it has probably came through the sixties and seventies better than I did. I had fun playing with it. Now it's your turn. Make a tiny satellite dish and update it.
