Description

A small emergency vehicle

The name describes a compact response van of the kind that turns up on a motorway when something has gone wrong. At just 56 pieces the model builds quickly, yet it brings everything a small rescue vehicle needs. The single minifigure sits inside as driver or helper. In the Classic Town theme it was an addition to the town houses and roads that together formed a whole play world. Being set on the motorway gives the small van a role of its own beside police and fire vehicles.

White, blue, black and trans-red

The main colours are white, blue, black and trans-red. The transparent red probably stands for the warning light and is a nice detail you can trace in the parts list on this page. White and blue give the vehicle a businesslike look, while black provides wheels and contrast. Transparent pieces in particular are often scratched on used copies, so it is worth inspecting them before you buy. White and blue should also look even, because unevenly aged parts hint at a mix from several sets.

28 part types in 56 pieces

That half of all pieces are different part types is unusual and shows how many specialised parts go into a vehicle like this: wheels, axles, windscreens, bodywork. It keeps the build varied even though it is short. For collectors it also means a missing piece is not always easy to replace. The list helps you find exactly the right part. Always compare shape and colour before buying a replacement, since similar parts often differ only in small details.

Play it, show it, rebuild it

The set suits play with other town vehicles and display in a small street scene. If you own similar parts, “What can I build?” shows which further sets are possible with them. Its small size also makes the van approachable for beginners who want to rebuild a first vehicle from the early years of the brand. If you like, park it with police cars or tow trucks and assemble a small accident scene.
