Only the third we have ever handled – this is an exciting find!
Finished in mid bright blue, this Bedford C.A. Van is in original condition, with complete and intact original ‘AVRO BODE’ labels on both sides , silver trim, flat spun wheels.
A very scarce variation indeed:
Several little rust spots on the base. Tyres have little splits but run well.
Few little marks to the paint finish – but no touch-ins!
Missing from most Corgi collections, however extensive.
