Y6-1 1916 AEC 'Y' Type Lorry

This AEC lorry was first produced in 1916 and production continued until around 1921. However these vehicles could be seen on the roads of England well into the 1930's.

This Yesteryear is quite a crude first series model but, as with other first series models, it has a certain charm.

The vehicle has a driver which is the same colour as the body. This model is mostly found in a dark or light grey. Extremely rare examples can be found in pale or mid blue. These blue models are very hard to find and can reach a staggering £1600. Most other issues can be found between £100 and £200 for mint boxed examples. However, this first series model was one of the examples that had its wheels replaced with those of plastic from the Matchbox 1-75 range at the end of the production life. These are also extremely rare and can fetch over £1000.
