Details:
The Corgi 416 RAC Radio Rescue Land Rover is a faithful 1:46 scale reissue of one of Corgi Toys' most popular service vehicle models. Based on the iconic Series I Land Rover, this authentic recreation captures the charm of the original 1959 release and is an essential addition for collectors of vintage Corgi models, classic Land Rover memorabilia, and emergency service vehicles.

Finished in bright RAC yellow, the model features the distinctive tinplate canvas tilt with RAC branding, roof-mounted Radio Rescue sign, and aerial that made the original instantly recognisable. Beautifully recreated, this classic diecast model celebrates an era when the RAC's radio-equipped patrol vehicles became a familiar sight on Britain's roads.

Whether displayed on its own or alongside period racing cars, this beautifully detailed reissue is a true centrepiece for any diecast collection.

1:46 scale diecast model.
Authentic RAC Radio Rescue livery.
Tinplate canvas tilt and roof sign.
Official Corgi collector's reissue.

Historical Background
Introduced by Corgi Toys in 1959, the 416 RAC Radio Rescue Land Rover was a revised version of the earlier Land Rover model, updated with a roof-mounted Radio Rescue sign, aerial and RAC-branded canvas tilt. Produced until 1962, more than 200,000 examples were made, making it one of the company's most recognisable utility vehicles. In 1962, the model evolved into the 416S, featuring the newer Series II Land Rover body and additional detailing, but the original Series I version remains a favourite among collectors for its simplicity and nostalgic appeal.

Since its launch in 1956, Corgi Toys has been one of Britain's most iconic diecast manufacturers. Renowned for innovation, opening features and exceptional detail, Corgi set new standards for model vehicles with its famous slogan, "The Ones with the Windows." Today, authentic reissues allow collectors to enjoy some of the brand's most celebrated classics, faithfully recreated for a new generation of enthusiasts.
