Matchbox/Lesney 40a; Bedford S Type Tipper

Back in the days of grey wheels there were a number of Bedford S type cabs in the Lesney range; some of them like this one very tiny, it really is a scrap of a thing, truly miniature. However the back tips up, the tailboard swings and the modelling is very good. Excellent.

The Bedford 7 Ton Tipper was released in 1957 and deleted in 1962. It was only ever in this colour with grey metal wheels with crimped axles or rounded axles or plastic wheels. The desirable version is the one with grey metal wheels and crimped axles.
