Collectable Oxford Diecast – Bedford Beagle HA

Pre-owned 1:43 scale Oxford Diecast model car from my personal collection:- Oxford Diecast HA005 Bedford Beagle HA 1966 Red PRICE >> €15 or Best Offer Limited Edition >> No 0480 of 2,000 (Certificate in box) The Bedford Beagle was an estate car conversion of the Bedford HA 8cwt van, which itself was based on the Vauxhall Viva HA. The conversions were undertaken by Martin Walter Ltd. Whilst the vans were very common at one time, the Beagle was altogether rarer and there are very few left today. Introduced in 1964, originally with the 1057 cc engine, the Beagle was basic, with drum brakes all round and minimal interior trim. Later engine upgrades arrived in 1967 (1159 cc) and 1972 (1256 cc), bringing the top speed up from 72 mph (116 km/h) to about 80 mph (129 km/h), but the Beagle was finally discontinued in 1973. It was effectively replaced by the superior Viva HC estate cars. The Beagle HA was powered by a Vauxhall Viva HA 4 cylinder in line engine of 1,057 cc giving 44 bhp. Model is in very good condition and is in its original display case with outer packaging sleeve. More photographs are available on request. Please contact seller if interested in model.
