Just to add to the Bedford S type strange engine interest , I can recall Russell of Bathgate running S type tractor units with 4 in line trailers fitted with Albion 4 cyl engines around the late 50s . Who carried out the conversions etc I have no information unfortunately .One company fitted BMC 5.1 diesels into their S Types as most of their fleet was already BMC. Gardner 4 potters was another conversion, I came across a few TK’s with those fitted.

There was a Haulier from Morpeth , Ozzy Elliot ran one fitted with a 4 cylinder Meadows, The next time I see the driver who had it I will ask him if he has any photos etc, Regards Larry.
That sounds like desperation to me Larry ! I wonder if he replaced the Bedford 300 engine with the Meadows ? Surely the Leyland 350/375 would have been a better proposition ? Cheers Dennis.
