Corgi Major Toys 1134 Bedford U.S. Army Tankwagen

The Bedford TK was one of the most widely used trucks in Great Britain and far beyond in the 1960s. Bedford, part of General Motors, was known for its reliable and versatile commercial vehicles. The TK was used for a wide range of purposes, from fire engines to military vehicles and tankers. In the United States, variants of this type were used by oil and fuel companies, giving the model international appeal.

In 1965, Corgi released the Bedford U.S. Tanker in their Major Toys series, number 1134. This series was designed for larger and more impressive models, with more detail than the regular Corgi vehicles. The tanker was given a robust design with a long tank body and American lettering, which made the model particularly attractive. Its size and appearance made it an impressive toy vehicle for many children of the time.

This example is in good condition, retaining its details and original appearance. It comes with a high-quality reproduction box that beautifully presents and protects the model. Because original boxes are often missing or damaged, this reproduction packaging completes the set and makes it appealing to collectors.

A beautiful and nostalgic example of Corgi's Major Toys series, combining Bedford's robustness with Corgi's attention to detail
