This is a GTP 552 Motorways tinplate coach by Glamour Toys (GTP), Made in England, dating to the 1950s. The lithographed tin body is decorated in bold blue, red, orange, yellow and green with a row of illustrated passengers visible through the coach windows — men in hats, women with curled hair, a uniformed driver at the front — all rendered in that charming graphic style so characteristic of British tinplate toys of the era.\u003cbr\u003eThe rear end carries the Made in England and G.T.P. 552 markings. The base plate features pressed oval cut-outs typical of GTP construction. Wear and paint loss is present throughout, consistent with its age and the well-loved life of a 70-year-old toy — which only adds to its charm and authenticity as a collector’s piece.\u003cbr\u003eGTP (Glamour Toys Products) were a British tinplate toy manufacturer active during the late 1940s and 1950s, producing affordable pressed tin vehicles for the domestic market.\u003cbr\u003e • Maker: GTP (Glamour Toys Products)\u003cbr\u003e • Model: 552 Motorways Coach\u003cbr\u003e • Date: c.1950s\u003cbr\u003e • Origin: Made in England\u003cbr\u003e • Material: Lithographed tinplate\u003cbr\u003e • Condition: Good playworn condition, wear consistent with age\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"windsorvintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57780441219446,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/2834\/5765\/files\/F95DA44B-E626-4A27-B76C-B78480078536.jpg?v=1777556190","url":"https:\/\/windsor-vintage.co.uk\/products\/vintage-1950s-gtp-motorways-tinplate-bus-glamour-toys-model-552-made-in-england","provider":"windsorvintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
