Matchbox 25a; Bedford CA Dunlop Van; Dark Blue, Metal Wheels
This early model Bedford CA van was
released in 1956. It was always blue with Dunlop transfers in black out
of orange/yellow on the sides. Early releases had metal wheels changing
to grey plastic as time went on. The last releases had black plastic
wheels and there are very few of these so they demand a very significant
premium. In fact a black wheels version will be very valuable indeed.
Apart from the different wheels types there are no variations to this
van. It remained in the range until 1960. |
