Actualy, I may well be wrong about the AEC, it was produced for real in 1966, but I have no idea when any models were made of it, and at best, I can only remember the super king.

Location: London UK

the models where made mid to late 1964, Im not sure when that shape AEC came out, around 1960 Im guessing?

and although not the toy, this is the style of toy Im looking at, made by Hover in Hong kong, a make Ive never heard of before

hi guys just a quick update, Ive still not been able to track down the large aec merryweather toy yet, but have made some progress on what I have, still not complete but gives an idea.
Ive been told by one of the original studio model makers that it was in fact a large toy aec merryweather that they bought from the local woolworths store.
the white stanchion on this was also made from another 60s toy fire engine
