Oxford Diecast Austin Threeway Van Civil Service Stores

The faithful and reliable Austin Three-way Van makes its latest appearance as a delivery van for that wonderful store at No. 425, The Strand, London, decorated in dark blue with gold lettering and black trim. Registered JXH 592, the van displays all the contact details for the Civil Service Stores, a department store which had started life in 1877 as a co-operative in Victoria Street before moving to its final home in WC2 in 1927. Sadly the art deco interior-styled building was lost to a fire in 1982.
