Model Details

The Oxford Diecast Ford Anglia Set (SET 24) is a highly detailed 1:43 scale collector model gift set representing the iconic Ford Anglia in multiple classic service liveries. This themed set captures the charm of Britain’s post-war and mid-century light commercial and fleet vehicles, making it a strong addition for collectors of vintage British road transport and model railway display scenes.

Produced by Oxford Diecast, this set focuses on the Ford Anglia van, a vehicle widely used across the UK in postal, utilities, and government service roles during the 1960s. Each model in the set features authentic period detailing, realistic proportions, and historically inspired liveries associated with public service fleets.

The Ford Anglia itself (105E generation) was produced between 1959 and 1967 and became one of Ford’s most recognisable small cars. Its van variants were widely adopted by organisations such as the Post Office and British Rail, where they served in parcel delivery, inspection work, and local transport duties.

Historical Background

The Ford Anglia 105E became one of Britain’s most iconic compact cars of the 1960s, known for its distinctive reverse-rake rear window and efficient engineering. While originally designed as a small family car, it quickly gained popularity in commercial van form due to its reliability and low running costs.

Government and utility organisations across the UK adopted the Anglia van for a wide range of duties, including postal delivery, telecommunications maintenance, and inspection services. These vehicles were a common sight in urban and rural Britain during the 1960s and early 1970s.

Oxford Diecast recreates this important part of British transport history through detailed miniature models, making this set particularly appealing for collectors focused on classic UK service vehicles and realistic period dioramas.
