As it’s nearing Christmas, we’re doing a festive Charity Vintage post. This week, we’re featuring this fab boxed set of vintage Corgi Christmas vehicles. The 10 vehicles, which include Ford vans, Bedford Buses and Morris trucks, are all emblazoned with Christmas greetings.

The set ends tomorrow and is up for sale on eBay for Charity by & in support of DebRA*

They’d make a great Christmas present for a vintage vehicle fan – whatever their age!

*DebRA provides nursing and social care for people with EB (Epidermolysis Bullosa) – a painful condiiton where the skin and internal membranes blister at the slightest touch. DebRA also funds research programmes and are just a few years away from effective treatments.

This is a festive vintage Moreston die cast Father Christmas reindeer sleigh being sold by & on behalf of The Earl Mountbatten Hospice* It’s in amazing condition for its age – apparently having been carefully wrapped up in tissue paper for over half a century!

The listing ends on Thursday – hopefully in time for the lucky high bidder to receive it in time for Christmas!

*The Earl Mountbatten Hospice is the only Hospice on the Isle of Wight providing palliative care to cancer and MND patients. They need to raise £4,500 per day to maintain the services they provide in our 15-bedded in patients ward. They also have a day Hospice that provides respite care to over 50 patients per week.
