Tomica Limited Vintage LV-20a Toyota Ambulance FS45V Tamagawa Fire Department

I recently got another Toyota Ambulance by TLV.  It was cool & all, but I was also eyeing this larger ambulance with classic hearse styling.  Generally spendy, but I was able to snatch one up on eBay for $24 shipped.

Seller also had the LV-20b(Takazaki City), but I went with this one because I have some fond memories of Tamagawa, where this ambulance is from.  Tamagawa is located on the Tokyo side of the border between Tokyo & Kanagawa.  Town had a train station that sat right by small theme park(my fav, but long gone) & cool river where people fished.  Childhood memories are great, aren't they?  :D

  1. I've been meaning to get one of this. That 'hearse'-y look is kinda interesting. Great photos & you got a good deal on it too. Win! :)

    1. If you can find one at a reasonable price, I would recommend it. Very cool addition to your TLV collection if you enjoy these types of castings.
