Description

Help at the roadside

A breakdown service tells its own story: a vehicle is stuck, and a helper arrives with tools and a tow truck. This Classic Town set turns that into a manageable play scenario with four figures, enough for a driver, a mechanic and some onlookers. At 263 pieces it is clearly bigger than many small sets of the period, so you get more than a single vehicle: a little scene that slots easily into a street. That appeals most to children who like inventing stories around their vehicles.

What “ANWB Version” means

The addition in the name refers to the ANWB, the Dutch motoring club, which itself provides breakdown assistance. The number 1590-2 marks a release of the set with that connection. For collectors that is a reason to look closely: whether a copy belongs to the ANWB variant depends on details we do not describe individually here. The parts list on this page helps you compare it against your own copy and check it for completeness. Accessories and figure parts deserve a particularly careful look.

65 types, four colours

Yellow, black, red and blue set the tone and suit a vehicle on duty. Sixty-five distinct types among 263 pieces point to a varied mix of bodywork, accessories and figure parts. If you plan to reuse the bricks after building, you get bold basic colours that get along well with other early eighties Town sets, and that make sense in vehicles, workshops or petrol stations of your own design.

Play, collect, think further

Four minifigures bring movement to play, and the model can stand beside a petrol station or garage without any changes. If you want to get more from the parts, use the “What can I build?” tool on Bricoria and see which other vehicles can be assembled from these 263 pieces and your existing stock. That keeps the set useful even once you have reworked the original scene or built it into a larger town.
