This Oxford Diecast model is representative of a BSA motorcycle with sidecar circa 1930 – 1950 from the Royal Automobile Club.
The motorcycle and sidecar was a popular form of transport from the 1930s right through to the 1950s. Used by commercial organizations as well as private bikers, the RAC (Royal Automobile Club) was a prime user. The RAC was the main rival to the Automobile Association and like the AA used the motorbike and sidecar for the purposes of roadside assistance for motorists. Distinctive in the classic blue and white livery as used by the RAC during this early era, the vehicle is registered PTE 799 with the number plate fixed to the top of the front mudguard. The blue and black bodywork carries the white tampo printed RAC graphics on the front of the sidecar and a finishing touch sees the detail of a sidelight built on the top of the nearside mudguard. The motorcycle, wheels and mudguards are all finished in black.
BSA motorcycles were made by the Birmingham Small Arms Company Limited (BSA), which was a major British industrial combine, a group of businesses manufacturing military and sporting firearms; bicycles; motorcycles; cars; buses and bodies; steel; iron castings; hand, power, and machine tools; coal cleaning and handling plants; sintered metals; and hard chrome process.
This is a great addition to your diorama or model collection.
