B Taylor Builders Auf Wiedersehen Bedford HA Van 1:43 Scale Oxford Diecast HA021

Auf Wiedersehen Pet first appeared on our screens over 25 years ago and was the story of seven out of work builders from various parts of England who were forced to work in West Germany. This is a model of Barry the electricians Bedford HA van . The HA van was very economical and sold well into the large fleets, notably the regional gas companies, the electricity boards, water authorities and British Railways and Post Office Telephones. When the Morris Minor ceased production in 1972, Bedford stepped into the void created by the lack of an immediate replacement and gained large orders from Post Office Telephones (1972-1982) and later Royal Mail (1975-1978). The HA was also modified for a number of special applications, including a 'high top', which Martin Walter designed primarily for the garment trade. A good number of these were also sold to laundry companies, whilst several local authorities employed them in their 'Park and Gardens' departments. Camper versions soon appeared and firms like Morrisons, Cummins and Archibold Scott converted them to ice-cream vans and burger bars.
