Originally a Martin Walter conversion on the HA van (the flip centre windows was a M-W design). They were later sold through Vauxhall dealers since they did not have a small estate to compete directly. -- Last edit: 2007-05-30 11:17:29

cortina.chris ◊ 2011-10-19 16:00	I think its an ordinary Bedford ha van, The windows dont look like they are professional enough for a true beagle.and martin walter used sliding glass for beagles. also thicker rubber usually means a universal fitting. Also no side trim or brightwork in evidence. Most probably just a converted van -- Last edit: 2012-02-17 03:26:59

However there are apparently variations in the way the Bedford Beagle side windows were made. Non-opening ones here for example, in addition to the more normal central flip-glass used by Martin Walter.
