LLEDO

Lledo is a relative newcomer to the diecast scene, however its founder Jack Odell had made a much earlier contribution to diecast cars as he joined Matchbox almost at the start in the 1950's. The Lledo compony was founded in 1982 with the first 6 models, subtitled, 'Models of Days Gone,' appearing early in 1983.
