Ford 400E Minibus - London Transport
The Ford Thames 400E was a commercial vehicle made by the Ford Motor Company Limited in Britain. It was introduced in 1957 and between then and 1987, when production ceased, over 187,000 had rolled off the production line. The vehicle proved popular for passenger transport use and as a Minibus, it was able to seat 12 passengers.
London Transport was one Ford 400E Minibus user and our 1:43 scale model registered 386 AUU, comes in grey with the distinctive red London Transport graphics. The Thames emblem on the front faithfully replicates the bold format of the original and the model also features extensive silver masking detail on door handles, window surrounds and bumpers. Look out too for the tiny but authentic blue Ford badge on the vehicle. The interior is finished in red with grey dashboard and steering wheel.
