The Ford Transit Connect has been a cornerstone of British commercial vehicle fleets since its introduction in 2002, representing Ford's commitment to practical, efficient light commercial transport. Based on the Ford C1 platform and initially manufactured in Turkey, the Transit Connect quickly established itself as the ideal solution for urban delivery, service operations, and fleet applications across the UK. Its compact dimensions, excellent fuel economy, and versatile cargo space made it particularly popular with service organisations like the RAC (Royal Automobile Club), Britain's premier motoring organisation founded in 1897. The RAC's distinctive livery on Transit Connect vans became a familiar sight on British roads, symbolising roadside assistance and automotive expertise.

This model captures the essence of modern British commercial vehicle operations, where efficiency meets reliability. Oxford Diecast models offer excellent precision and authenticity in the 1:76 scale collectible market, making them a popular choice for collectors seeking detailed miniatures of contemporary British commercial vehicles.
