Oxford Diecast 76FT025 Ford Transit LWB High Roof City Link - OO gauge
Sadly, the well-known yellow and dark green City Link courier service vans, once a familiar sight in both town and country, are no more! Founded in 1969, City Link had its headquarters in Coventry with many strategically placed satellite depots, delivering parcels across the UK. The one-time successful company went into administration at the end of 2014 with the loss of over 2700 jobs and despite urgent appeals, petitions and the quest to find a viable buyer, the company became defunct from 1st January 2015.
Our model is a replica of one of the company's long wheel base Ford Transits, as used in 2007, registered BJ57 AYZ and decorated in their signature two-tone colour scheme. The 'busy' graphics promote their express parcel delivery service, together with 0870 telephone number and website details.
