About this product...
The Corgi Bedford OB 98163 is a beautifully presented die‑cast model that pays tribute to one of Britain’s most beloved mid‑20th‑century coaches. Produced as part of Corgi’s distinguished Classics range, this 1:50 scale Bedford OB captures the gentle curves, elegant proportions and unmistakable charm of the original vehicle with exceptional fidelity.
Finished in the refined Grey‑Green livery, the model showcases crisp period branding, carefully applied paintwork and a wonderfully nostalgic colour palette that evokes the golden age of British provincial coaching. The OB’s iconic rounded bodywork is faithfully reproduced, from the sweeping front wings and distinctive grille to the subtly arched roofline and classic window arrangement. The interior detailing — visible through the clear glazing — adds an extra layer of authenticity, hinting at the comfortable seating and understated styling that made the OB a favourite on rural and inter‑town routes.
Collectors will appreciate the model’s premium touches:
Precision‑moulded body lines and chrome‑effect trim
Realistic wheel hubs and tyre textures
Fine detailing around the radiator, lights and destination panel
A clean, true‑to‑era finish that sits beautifully in any display
