Catalogue listing

Oxford Diecast Austin Seven RN Van AA – 1:76 Scale

Manufacturer part number: 76ASV002. The model represents the period of the “Big Four” railway companies (LNER, LMS, GWR and SR).

The Automobile Association (AA) was formed in 1905, meeting at the Trocadero Restaurant in London. Within five years the organisation had patrols operating nationwide, initially using cycle scouts to warn members of police traps and later assisting stranded motorists. In the late 1940s the introduction of two‑way radio allowed central contact with AA patrols for vehicle assistance.

This diecast model depicts an Austin Seven RN van in the AA Road Service livery as used historically. It bears the AA badge of the era and the distinctive yellow and black colour scheme. The interior is finished in black with a yellow dashboard and brown door cappings, and a roof box painted in AA colours is fitted to the conversion. The vehicle is shown with the registration GX 2839.
