Bedford Rascal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bedford Rascal was a small van of the Bedford brand, based on an existing Japanese Suzuki vehicle, the Suzuki Super Carry. It was sold as the Vauxhall Rascal after 1990, and as the Holden Scurry in Australia. The van was produced (along with its Suzuki twin for the European market), at the LBC Vehicles plant in Luton, adjacent to Vauxhall's main factory.

Sold from 1986 to 1993, the Rascal was a small and economical van, intended for many purposes. Aside from the van, pick-up and camper versions were also made.

It is still sold in Ecuador by General Motors (who owned Bedford when the Rascal was designed), as the Chevrolet Supercarry.
