Anglia Van RAC |
|
|
By 1960 most of the service fleet was in the livery of Radio Rescue, but
this was not true of all patrol vehicles. Land Rovers based on the newly
opened motorway had their own livery, still in the standard RAC blue,
but with the wording MOTORWAY PATROL in white lettering. Other wording
used on service vehicles included ROAD SERVICE, RADIO PATROL and SIGNS
SERVICE. Probably the most unusual livery was the all-white Minivan with
its blue lettering. This was an attempt to improve the visibility of
patrols when parked at a breakdown. The idea was that a white van would
stand out better in gloomy weather. Although the idea was not fully
adopted, vehicles supplied after this exercise were delivered with white
roof and white headboards.
