The little 1930s Austin Seven Van was one of the most popular small utility vehicles of its day, lending itself to a wide range of duties in both the public and private sector. Here we are pleased to introduce it as used by the City of Birmingham Gas Department, whose business is printed in gold lettering on the sides of the van and whose slogan Gas Service - Light, Heat, Power appears on the driver and passenger doors. Decorated in black with silver trim, our 1:43 scale van is registered AOE 860. The interior is also black with brown dashboard trim.

No doubt it was kept very busy maintaining the supply of gas to the homes and businesses across Birmingham in the 1930s.
