Catalogue listing

Oxford Diecast Emer Green/White VW Pick‑Up – 1:76 scale.
Manufacturer part number: 76VW006.
The model depicts the vehicle in British Rail Blue livery, representing the pre‑TOPS era.

The vehicle is based on the second‑generation VW Type 2 (T2) introduced in 1968. Compared with the earlier 1950s split‑windscreen version, the T2 featured a larger, heavier chassis, a wider front windscreen and a more powerful engine. Production began in Germany and later expanded to other European factories, as well as to the USA, Mexico and South America.

The VW Type 2 was marketed as a van/minibus and was offered in a wide range of body styles, including three‑door vans, four‑door minibuses, two‑door trucks with regular cabs and four‑door trucks with crew cabs. This die‑cast model reflects one of the 2‑door truck configurations.
