LHD Bedford TMs

DEANB:
Looks like Bedford must have done a tour of the Middle East a bit like ERF did. I wonder if this was
common practise back in the 70’s.I know the last 2 are RHD but thought these might be of intrest
to you Robert.

This appears to be in Agadez in the country of Niger in the Sahel region of North Africa. It’s probably a publicity trip rather than a demo one. It was quite fashionable to take new models out to exotic locations for photo-shoots in the '70s and '80s. You may remember Volvo did it in Morocco with the F89. Even as recently as 1999 I remember seeing a thinly-disguised MAN TG (pre-production) in Tangiers port; and later seeing publicity pics of TGs taken in the wilder corners of Morocco. Cheers! Robert
