More new Oxford tooling introduces the N scale version of the BSA
motorcycle and sidecar in AA livery which is already part of the 1:76
series. This dual combination was a popular form of transport from the
1930s right through to the 1950s. Used by commercial organisations as
well as private bikers, the Automobile Association was a prime user,
when the bike and sidecar were ridden by the AA patrolmen in their
jodhpur shaped trousers and high brown leather boots. AA members whose
front radiators sported the AA badge, got a respectful salute from the
patrolmen in those days too, as you drove by.
The familiar AA Golden Yellow and Black livery is faithfully reproduced
on this minute new model, registered HGV 228, including the AA insignia
of the period. The bike is also highly detailed, especially the
handlebars, which include brake levers and a rear view mirror. Note too,
the black edge to the roof of the sidecar. For lovers of motorbikes and
AA vehicles through the ages, this is something different to add to
your fleet.
