Detailed 1:76 scale die-cast model of an AEC Regent III / Merryweather fire engine in London Fire Brigade livery. This genuine Oxford Diecast model represents a classic British fire appliance from the mid-20th century.

The AEC Regent III chassis was widely used for specialist applications, including fire appliances built by Merryweather, a well-known manufacturer of firefighting equipment. These vehicles formed part of the London Fire Brigade’s fleet during the post-war period.

This model features classic mid-century fire appliance styling, with ladders mounted on top, a silver/grey body with red detailing typical of London Fire Brigade vehicles of the time, and compact proportions that fit neatly into OO gauge layouts, making it ideal for both collectors and layout builders.

The model comes boxed, but not in its original packaging.
