250-2 1:87 Esso Bedford Tanker was a Classic HO 1:87 scale vehicle set released in 1956. The first version of the Bedford LEGO Truck had a scale of 1:80. It was a red Bedford Esso Tank truck and sold only in Denmark in a carton box. The international version of this Esso Bedford Tanke came in two different models: model 1 with flashing light at the front, and model 2 with the flashing light at the side. Based on current trends, this set could be valued near $300 within the next year.
