Manufacturer description

Based on the 15 cwt series which was produced between 1959 and 1969. The Bedford CA had a 90 inch wheelbase, quite small by today's standards so they launched a 102 inch version which was designated the CAL, hence the CA became known as the CAS.

Catalogue listing

Oxford Diecast BOAC Bedford CA Minibus – 1:76 scale model. The model is supplied under manufacturer part number 76CA024 and is painted in the British Rail Blue livery used prior to the introduction of the TOPS system.

The die‑cast replica represents the 15 cwt series Bedford CA that was built between 1959 and 1969. The original vehicle had a 90‑inch wheelbase; a longer 102‑inch version known as the CAL was later produced, with the shorter model becoming identified as the CAS.

The model is aimed at collectors of British post‑war commercial vehicles and reflects the typical dimensions and appearance of the period minibus used by BOAC and other operators.
