cav551:
When I first started driving the HGV Class 3 licence was only needed if the ULW of the lorry exceeded 3 tons. Bedford ran many adverts promoting their TK which was under 3 tons unladen with a platfrom body, IIRC they claimed a payload of 7 tons so it was a 10 ton gross vehicle. Am I mistaken or not and are there any pictures or articles from CM?
I drove many TK’s/TJ’s, Ford K Series Traders, BMC FGK’s (but not the 6 cylinder diesel ones as they were just on the limit depending on body, the petrol ones were lighter) , Terriers, Morris Commercial LC/ MRA 4X4 etc as a fitter as they were all under 3 tonnes unladen.
