Ford Anglia Van - London Country

About this product…

Scale: 1/43

Part of the Vanguards range.

Vehicles that shaped the lives of people living in Britain from the post-war period to the present day.

The 307E van was available in either 5cwt or 7cwt form and each was easily distinguishable from the other because whilst the cheaper model made do with body-coloured bumpers, headlamp peaks and grille, the more expensive larger-payload van had all those parts chrome plated. However, the interior of both was quite basic, with rubber mats on the floor and no headlining;- Even the hinged passenger seat was an optional extra, as was the heater. Though both models were originally launched carrying the traditional Ford Thames name, this name was deleted in March 1965, and the 307E range was then sold as the Anglia Van. In 1971, this Ford Anglia Van, 1439F, was one of four London Transport vans loaned to London Country Bus Services (LCBS). The van was mainly used for driver training, hence the 'L' plate, and the LCBS logo shown on the door was a temporary sticker that rarely featured on the company's genuine support vehicles.

Age Suitability: 14+
