Matchbox 3b; Bedford TK 7.5 ton Tipper

The Bedford TK tipper (3b) came out in 1961 and remained in the range until 1967. Early releases had a maroon tipping body, later ones were red, both are shown here, however these are relatively easy to find, the treasures are the grey wheels versions, they can be worth a lot depending on the type of grey wheels and the colour of the tipper back. Top dog is grey plastic wheels with 24 treads and a maroon tipper.
