I have recently acquired the second issue of the 474 Ice Cream Van. I was lucky to get the first issue in January 2020. There are some differences.
The first issued had a Certificate of Provenance.
For the second this has become a Certificate of Authenticity. Frustratingly, the old one will not fit in the tin supplied with the Mini Cooper designed for their storage! That's odd as I would have thought that the tins might have been already in production or, certainly, well past design stage. As those of us who had received the first issue were not permitted to get the second issue direct it is all the more strange that we would not be able to store all our cards together. This is a minor thing, of course. More significant is the different 'China side' of the box.
The packing is slightly different, with a black piece of protective polystyrene replacing a white chunk for mine.
As for the models themselves, I cannot detect any difference.
