A nice period piece, this 'split screen' Bedford CA van would have been used to deliver newspapers around London in the late 1950s/early 1960s. In deep yellow with silver grille and grey plastic 24-tread wheels on rounded axles. There are six decals: 'First with the News' in white in red on the diagonal roof sign, red 'Evening News' on the van sides, and headline boards on the cab doors.
This one is in excellent condition, with just a few little chips and rubs, and near-perfect decals. There is some very light surface rust on the front axle.
