Description Extended Information
 
Corgi CC60305 British Bedford QLD Supply Truck - 49th Field Park Unit, 3rd Infantry Division, Lybia, 1942 (1:50 Scale) "After [El] Alamein, we never had a defeat."
- British Prime Minister Winston Churchill

The Bedford QLD lorry was the most common British-made 4x4 truck produced, with over 52,000 supplied to the British Forces between 1941 and 1945. Many of these later continued in service with the British Army in Cyprus, Korea and Malaya. The first Bedford QL trucks rolled off the assembly line at Vauxhall’s Luton factory early in 1941. They were powered by the reliable GM 3 ½-litre six-cylinder petrol engine.

Pictured here is a 1:50 scale QLD supply truck that was attached to the British 7th Armored Brigade ("The Desert Rats") when it was conducting operations in Libya 1942. Sold Out!
