Manufacturer description

In real life these vehicles were designed as service training schools at most of the company factories and some distribution centres, training thousands of employees each year. The first release on this vehicle saw it as a Mobile Service Training Unit, specially designed with a rear classroom separated from the driver's cab with an interior partition. The livery was used by the British Leyland Special Tuning Service for Private Owners. Decorated in royal blue with a white roof and mid-body, the British Leyland corporate logo features in white between the front and rear side windows. Added detail includes chrome bumpers, silver wheels and black chassis. The interior is finished off with black seats, dashboard and steering wheel. 

The 1:76 scale model comes on a plinth with a clear case lid and Oxford wrap.
