My mate Arthur Lowdon at Seaton Burn ran a lot Bedfords, Even before the war his father Geo Lowdon was a Bedford man, They ran quite a lot of Ex WD Bedfords on the opencast coal jobs in the area, Its now called surface mining, Anyway Arthur ran some S types for a long time and Ive only heard good reports from him as to the durabiltey of these motors, This was one of his in the 50s driven by his younger brother Geo, who is now long retired of course, An A Type with heavey duty rear springs & an Eaton two speed axle, Regards Larry.
