Postman Pat Vehicles

Postman Pat Toy Vehicles


Postman Pat vehicles have come a long way since the first mini die-cast vehicles by Ertl in the 1980s.

Pat’s red van, Pat 1 is the original iconic vehicle from the show. The old classic Royal Mail red Postman Pat vehicle was based on the Vauxhall Bedford HA van. Past toys of Pat 1 were made by ERTL and Corgi (die-cast) and ER (pull back and go).

Subsequent episodes of the ‘classic’ Postman Pat featured Pat driving the then ‘Pat 2’, a red Royal Mail Postbus which doubled as the Greendale bus as well as carrying larger parcels.

Later on Pat was seen driving a yellow school bus for Julian and the other children.

Nowadays, thanks to the Special Delivery Service, Pat has quite a fleet of vehicles to choose from.

  • Pat 2 is now Pat’s new, bigger SDS Van capable of carrying much larger SDS parcels and packages
  • Pat 3 is Pat’s SDS Helicopter, very useful for those speedy and awkward deliveries
  • Pat 4, the SDS Mini Van, is loosely based on Pat’s original Pat 1, now updated
  • Pat 5, the SDS Motorbike, fortunately comes equipped with a sidecar for Jess
  • Pat 7, the Jeep, is Pat’s rugged orr-road vehicle

There are now, thanks to UK toy maker Character Options, several toy Postman Pat vehicles to choose from. Similar to the earlier Born to Play range, each vehicle plays the Postman Pat theme tune and also emits phrases from the appropriate character.

Apart from Pat’s vehicles there are also the Greendale Rocket, PC Selby’s Police Car and Ted Glenn’s Truck.
