MATCHBOX LESNEY 5d LONDON ROUTEMASTER BUS "Visco-Static" - RESTORED Picture 1 Picture 2 Picture 3 Picture 4 Picture 5 Picture 6 Item is a restored Matchbox Lesney London Routemaster Bus. Series number 5d first issued in 1965. The model has been stripped down to base metal after removing the wheels and axles. It has then been primed, sprayed and varnished. The axles have been replaced with the axles domed on one side, rounded the other. The original black wheels have been refitted. The white plastic seat inserts have been cleaned. The model has been painted red all over. Replacement laser printed transfers "Visco-static" have been applied. The box is a reproduction box and is clearly marked inside as such. Box style E4. Please wait for an invoice before paying if you are bidding for multiple items of mine as the postage costs may vary. I accept payment via Paypal as it is easy and safer for both of us. Please pay promptly when requested to avoid unecessary dispatch delays. If you wish to bid for other items and pay together then please send me a message. If I have not been paid within 5 days or received a message, a payment dispute will be opened. All models I dispatch will be covered with bubble wrap and then packaged securely in a new mailing box for protection. There is little point in buying collectors items and receiving them in a damaged condition. I make no profit on the packaging involved but ask that you appreciate the efforts made to protect and deliver your purchase.

I make no profit on the packaging involved but ask that you appreciate the efforts made to protect and deliver your purchase. At the end of April 2012 the UK postal service (Royal Mail) imposed a large price increase. The effect of this is that the postage cost of single models has gone up considerably. In the UK the first price band now covers weights up to 750g (around 7 standard models) whilst international postage costs have gone up similarly. My packaging costs are around £0.40 per parcel – this equates to a brand new mailing box and plastic postal bag to protect your purchase. To minimise these costs I am always happy to combine postage where possible and the following guidelines apply. Please wait for an invoice as I will do whatever I can to minimise the costs for you including holding items for a week if you wish to bid on later items. I can’t automate these charges in Ebay so please wait for an invoice to avoid overpaying. UK only costs (First class) 1-3 models costs £3.10 4-6 models costs £3.40 (larger mailing boxes cost more) 6+ please wait for an invoice Europe (Airmail small packets) 1 standard model costs £3.10 2 standard model costs £3.20 3+ please wait for an invoice Worldwide outside Europe (Airmail small packets) 1 standard model costs £3.70 2 standard model costs £4.30 3+ please wait for an invoice Major pack and Accessory pack items weigh more and affect the charging. A Certificate of Posting will be obtained in all cases. All items are posted within 5 working days of receipt of cleared payment and usually much less. When bidding please examine the photographs carefully. I take great care to both photograph and describe the item in as much detail as I can but mistakes can happen. I think it is much better to see the item in detail rather than relying on a single photograph. If you see something about which you are unsure, please contact me before bidding as it is considerably easier for both of us to resolve such issues before sale than afterwards. When you have received your purchase, please leave feedback so I know the item has arrived safely and I will leave feedback for you. If you feel you need to leave negative or neutral feedback, please contact me first in case there has been a misunderstand... read more
