Vanguard 1/43 Austin A40 Van Cow & Gate (VA00319) LIMITED EDITION

The A40 of 1947 was Austin's first mass market post-war car and marked the debut of a new 1200cc 40bhp OHV engine that was the direct ancestor of the familiar B-Series but which was very different in detail. The van version modelled here, was available from 1948 and was produced alongside it's pick-up cousin until the range was dropped in 1956 after 140,060 vans/pick-ups had been built.
