Manufacturer description

Our first generation Ford Transit Mk1, dating from the mid 1960s, as used by the Police Motorway Patrol in South Wales, registered SAX134G from 1968/69. Its plain white body colour features clinical Police graphics in blue on the sides and the back and white out of black on the front above the radiator grille. The interior is also black. A tooling modification adds a blue beacon on the roof, again with POLICE lettering. For collectors of Police vehicles across the years, this one will certainly fill another gap from a predominantly pre-motorway age and before there were so many cars on the road.

Catalogue listing

Oxford Diecast Ford Transit Mk1 Police Motorway Patrol Gwent is a 1:64 scale model produced under the part number 76FT1007. The vehicle represents the first‑generation Ford Transit Mk1 that entered service in the mid‑1960s and was operated by the Police Motorway Patrol in South Wales, bearing the registration SAX134G during 1968/69. The model is finished in a plain white body with blue police graphics on the sides and rear, a white “OUT OF” sign on the front above the radiator grille, and a black interior. A blue beacon with the wording POLICE is fitted on the roof as a tooling modification.

The livery corresponds to the British Rail Blue period, prior to the introduction of the TOPS system. This die‑cast serves collectors interested in historic police vehicles, particularly those from the pre‑motorway era when road traffic was considerably lower.
