Oxford Diecast Rediffusion Ford 400E Van 1:76 scale

Ford Thames 400E Rediffusion Van

A lovely rendition of the stylish 400E van in its Rediffusion guise (who provided cable television to our home with colour appearing on all channels in 1969) and were trialling fibre-optic cabling back in 1976 (Hastings). The 1957 400E was a huge step forward from the pre-war Ford E83W, the 400E being succeeded by the Fort Transit in 1965.

nice model. came well packed. I remeber seeing these vans going around, and like a lot of people when I was a kid, we all had Rediffusion with the box switch on the wall.

I bought this as it is based on the actual van, ALV 252B, which I drove for the first time in Liverpool on my 17th birthday. I already have the 1:43 model of it! Thank you Oxford Diecast for producing both of them.
