...someone superimposed a MB 42a Bedford Evening News Van over a real Bedford News Van but preserved all the 1:1 detail in the background? Well....

I had this one as a kid and also in my current MB collection.

Neat idea. Just needs the rear door to match the rest!

Darn, I've been meaning to do an image like this for a while. This is what happens when you wait too long.

That is very cool ! I still have the blue Dunlop tire Bedford van that I got as a kid and I always liked it a lot.

@michaeldetorrice I have the blue Dunlop van too Mike but like all of my childhood MBox, Dinkys, Corgis, etc. the original didn't have a chance of survival...lol. Here's a pic and a pleasant reminder of some others many of us enjoyed as kids (and adults in some cases). 😉

Jack, the van that you had and that Chris and Graeme photo-modded must have been very popular for Matchbox, as I still have mine.

@michaeldetorrice Amazing that as a kid you didn't beat it to bits.....all mine met that fate.

"Amazing that as a kid you didn't beat it to bits.....all mine met that fate."
Same here, I saved virtually nothing from childhood. 99.9% of my toys were either taken apart, smashed, traded away, lost, or burned. Once I discovered girls, who needed toys? 🙄 🙄 🙄
