Availability and suppliers

In March 2007, remaining items from the former Lledo range were available from the Corgi website under the 'Days Gone' brand, but the Bristol Lodekka was not amongst them.

Notes

'Bristol' is the name of the manufacturer: the vehicles were used all over Britain (except in London, where the similar-looking Routemaster dominated).
The 'Lodekka' name refers to the low height of the downstairs floor obtained by offsetting the drive shaft, not to the height of the vehicle overall.
