Manufacturer description

The third generation of the Ford Transit was the latest upgrade of a highly popular utility vehicle which Ford manufactured/assembled between 1986 and 2003. It was a completely new shape and came in various styles and formats lending itself to a wide range of customer requirements. Our version is based on the long wheelbase model and is registered J305 SDA from 1991/92. Hot on the heels of the AA liveried Transit Mk3 which we released recently, we are pleased to now add to the series that other great British roadside assistance institution, the RAC. Painted in the contemporary white body colour, the RAC signature blue and red graphics see them promoting themselves as 'The New Knights of the Road'. An interesting addition is the red Welsh Dragon (Ddraig Goch) on the doors - an indication perhaps of their operational area. Note too, the addition of an orange light bar with RAC insignia situated towards the rear of the roof, rounding off another addition to the fleet of roadside rescue models across the ages.
