Nice one there :thumbsup: I find the "Radio Rentals" version harder to find than the "Rentaset" or maybe I have been unlucky :(
Replacement parts is availeble in slightly brighter red than the original (the rentaset in the front has replacement-antenna)

Radio Rentals were the final run with only 1 box type so while they probably made 1/2 million of them there were 4 or 5 million Rentasets....
I got mine from a school pal when I was 16,and havent seen any at toyfairs ever that I can recall,but plenty of collectors have them and they are on ebay.I dont have a cream 47 Ice Cream van either, but have seen loads of blue and a few metallic blue ones,but like the regular wheels 55 Mercury, this is oddly elusive in our part of the world.........

The blue Ice Cream truck was my very first matchbox. Thanks for sharing.
