New Ford Transit from Oxford Diecast

The ubiquitous Ford Transit, which Ford described as a family of light commercial vehicles, has been on our roads since 1965. Having undergone many upgrades, facelifts and employed in multiple uses along the way, Oxford Diecast is filling a gap in the 1:76 scale range with the Mk 2 model.  

The upgraded Mark 2 first appeared in 1977 and continued in Ford production until 1985 - the newly tooled model is registered C332 OYJ from that last year, coinciding with the Ford Transit reaching a production quantity of 2 million vehicles.

This first release is decorated in white with black and silver trim. The interior is black too, apart from white interior door panel inserts. It comes as a two-cab door van with a sliding door on the near side and two rear doors. A final detail is the Ford badge in blue, set in the radiator grille and again on the bottom offside rear edge of the van beneath the door. Oxford made the decision to release the first version in White, allowing you to adapt to your own requirements. 

Given the vast number of variations on the actual Ford Transit Mk 2, more releases from Oxford Diecast are expected in due course.

Priced at £9.95, the new model is available to order now.
