Manufacturer description

Instantly recognisable, the famous retro green, red and white Castrol colour scheme looks great on this period Ford Transit Mk I from 1965. Registered BSC 502C in that year, the green and white body carries the Castrol name in red and the strapline 'The Masterpiece in Oils' in white along the sides. Black and silver trim, a green roof and a black interior round off this delightful little miniature, which was so popular in real life.
