Dinky Toys 982 Bedford Car Transport & Loading Ramp

The Bedford Pullmore was a well-known British car transporter from the 1950s, specifically designed to carry multiple cars simultaneously. With the rise of mass car production, efficient vehicle transport became increasingly important, and transporters like the Bedford became a familiar sight on the roads and in factories.

Dinky Toys introduced the Bedford Pullmore Car Transporter in the early 1950s under number 982. The model quickly became one of the most popular transport vehicles in the Dinky Toys range. With its characteristic blue livery, "Dinky Toys" lettering, and detachable loading ramp, the model could realistically load and unload cars. This made it both an attractive toy and a technically sophisticated scale model.

This example is in good condition and complete with the loading ramp, a part that was often lost and is now difficult to find. This completeness makes it a particularly valuable collector's item.

The Dinky Toys 982 Bedford Pullmore Car Transporter is a true classic in Dinky Toys history, a model that not only reflects the growth of the automotive industry but also brought to life the play world of children in the 1950s and 1960s.
