GENERAL INFO
The 25A Bedford Dunlop Van was introduced in 1956 in a B1 sub-type box in the short size 2. The yellow and red model depicted is shown with black wheels and red hubs, no background, and rather small numbers outside the scroll. That same artwork would also be used for a B2 box. A second major variation shows the same model but with numbers closer to it.
One last variation was released in size 2, B2 sub-type, and that one shows the model higher in the picture, with very small model numbers.
The final box is a B3 one, in size 3, and used exactly the same drawing as the second major variation, but applied on a size 3 box, meaning the blue rectangle completes the box.
RARITY
The last box, the B3, is less common. Others seem to be equally common.
