Oxford 76INV002 1/76 AC Invacar Pale Blue (Hubnut)
Overview:
TWC (“Took”) is a 1972 Invacar Model 70 – the final flowering of the remarkable invalid carriage series of vehicles, produced after the Second World War until 1977.
This 1:76 scale model is based on the Model 70 which was produced by both AC and Invacar Ltd as the government wished to reduce the number of different invalid carriages that were available during the 1960s. Invalid carriages were provided to individuals via the National Health Service.
The mechanical package includes an Austrian Steyr-Puch horizontal, four-stroke flat twin of 493cc, which sends its power through an AC-designed gearbox, which uses an American Salsbury [note Americanised spelling] continuously variable pulley system similar to those you can find on modern scooters. This means a simple ‘twist and go’ driving experience – you push down on the handlebars to stop, though different driving controls, including steering wheels or tillers, could be specified to suit the disability of the driver.
