In real life these vehicles were designed as service training schools at most of the BMC factories and some distribution centres, training thousands of employees each year on short and medium courses. It was essential to train mechanics and service personnel, keeping them up to date with the latest advances in car manufacturing. This 1:76 scale version comes in dark blue with contrasting chrome bumpers, silver wheels and black chassis. The interior features cream partition walls between the driver's cab and the classroom with white fitted units and silver grey floor. The interior is finished off with black seats, dashboard and steering wheel. Exterior decoration is in colourful contrast to the body and features the British Motor Corporation Mobile Service Training Unit name and famous colourful rosette on the sides between the windows, together with all the company's leading brand names running along the body under the windows. The vehicle is registered BMC 34 and also features a GB sticker on the rear nearside, while on the front the BMC badge sits proudly above the matt black grille.
