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.

Oxford Diecast Bedford CA Van – 1:76 Scale
The model is supplied by Oxford Diecast with the manufacturer part number CH027. It is presented in a 1:76 scale, suitable for railway modelling collections.
The van is depicted in British Rail blue livery, representing the pre‑TOPS period. It is modelled on the 15 cwt series that was produced between 1959 and 1969.
The original Bedford CA had a 90‑inch wheelbase, a relatively small size by modern standards. A longer version with a 102‑inch wheelbase was later introduced and designated the CAL, leading to the original being referred to as the CAS.
