The Karrier Bantam was a four-wheel commercial vehicle range from the Huddersfield marque Karrier, which in the mid-1930s supplemented the earlier Cob range. The Karrier article lists Bantam models from the 1930s to the 1960s, among them a 50 cwt model, a road sweeper-collector, and the F-series 2 to 3 ton trucks of 1948 to 1963. Under Rootes Group ownership Karrier trucks were generally smaller than those of the sister Commer brand, with Bantam models using 13-inch wheels, against 16-inch wheels for the Gamecock range, to give a lower loading height. Corgi made several toy models based on the Bantam between 1957 and 1967, including mobile shops and ice cream vans.
