Please excuse my remarks , Bedfords went downhill In my opinion when they stoped the making of their S Type model, the ones that followed the useless under powered TK With its transmition hand brake, Its a good job there were no MOTS In those days, They were a complete dissaster in my book, I drove one of them 726 NVK, For Baxters Road Services Quayside Newcastle on Tyne, The useless things nearley skint the poor bloke, Head gaskets, gear boxes, transmission problems to name just a few, & not good on fuel, the only good thing the TK Had was a good cab heater, the rest of it was total crap. The brakes were, ■■? What bloody brakes Eh, Im sure there must be a lot of old time drivers that had some white knuckle rides when going over Shap Eh, Regards Larry.
