Oxford 76DC003 Diecast Duple Commander II Neath & Cardiff 1/76

 

The 1:76 scale Duple Commander Mk II single deck coach represents the great contribution the Duple Coachbuilders company had made to the industry and their association with all the great names in British coach and bus designs, alongside equally famous chassis producers from the public transport industry.

 

This model appears in a Welsh livery of the Neath & Cardiff luxury coach company with their distinctive brown and red colour scheme. Our single deck coach is registered HTG 620D from 1966 and its destination board beneath the windscreen indicates it is on Tour. The company’s contact address in Briton Ferry is printed in gold across the back of the coach while the roofline features all the towns between Swansea and Cardiff also printed in gold. The gold and black N & C Luxury Coach crest appears on the sides beneath the windows. The bright red wheels are also given a spark of extra colour with the bright blue AEC Badge on the centre boss.  Internally, the seating is a dark red with contrasting beige floor, grey dashboard and black steering wheel.
