Bedford Rascal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bedford Rascal (Sold as the Vauxhall Rascal after 1990 and as the Holden Scurry in Australia) was a small van, based on an existing Japanese Suzuki design, the Suzuki Super Carry.

Sold from 1986 to 1993, the Rascal was a small and economical van that was useful for many purposes.

Aside from the van, Pick-up truck and Camper van versions of the van were also made. The Rascal has become collectible by many, due to its looks and simple design as vans of such size are quite uncommon outside Japan. It is still sold in Ecuador by GM as the Chevrolet Supercarry.
