  The Days Gone series was launched by Lledo in the 1980s as a nostalgic reinterpretation of early twentieth-century advertising vehicles, aimed at British and international collectors. The present model, a Ford Model T Van, pays tribute to the tradition of livery advertising and is dedicated to the Ovaltine brand, popular in the United Kingdom since Victorian times.
