Manufacturer description

The multi-functional Mercedes Sprinter has appeared in numerous guises in real life and in Oxford model form.  For its latest 1:76 release it comes as a recovery vehicle as used by Crouch Recovery, a UK company with its headquarters in Kibworth, Leicestershire. 

Founded in 1948 by David and Barbara Crouch, the company’s small beginnings as a filling station and local recovery operation have grown into one of the biggest and fastest growing operations in the UK.  With depots in the surrounding midland counties and agents further afield, the company is able to respond to commercial and private motorists’ needs with their 24 hour 7 days a week response units.

The Crouch Mercedes Sprinter is decorated in the company’s corporate bright orange with a wealth of graphics promoting their recovery and roadside repair services, as well as all their contact details. Our model is registered CR20 TOW and features an additional roof bar at the front and rear of the roof. The trim is predominantly black, as is the van interior. This vibrant little model will certainly add a touch of brightness to your Oxford Mercedes Light Commercials series shelf.
