Corgi Collectibles is helping to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the UK's leading drain care specialist, Dyno-Rod, by producing a two-piece commemorative gift set.

2,000 of the sets, which include a Ford Anglia Van and Ford Transit Van have been produced in bespoke packaging to mark the anniversary and to show how the fleet has moved on over the last four decades. The bright day-glo red vans, which were originally the idea of Chairman and Founder Jim Zockoll, are one of the most popular fleets on UK roads today and have certainly become a trademark of the Dyno-Rod brand.

The gift sets were produced as gifts for the Dyno-Rod franchise network and were distributed at the company’s birthday party held in September. The remainder of the models will be available to the public for purchase through Dyno’s website at www.dyno.com

Lesley Lawton, Corgi Premiums Manager, says: “Corgi Premiums offer a flexible service, and this gift set is testimony to the versatility Corgi ’s vehicles have to offer. The day-glo Dyno-Rod vans work extremely well as diecast models and I’m sure this will prove to be a very collectable set.”

Andrew Whitehead, Marketing Projects Manager at Dyno-Rod comments: “As the day-glo vans are a major part of our branding, we wanted to produce a memorable van set to show where Dyno-Rod had come from and where we are today.

“This is the first time we have worked with Corgi, we gave a very specific brief on a tight deadline and were very impressed with the level of service we received. The team were able to source a van from the early 1960s, but more importantly were able to replicate the colour and design even down to our light bars on our current vans.”
