You would think its still about,surely nobody would have the heart to cut it up.

Here's a couple from Ireland,note the absence of a rear mudguard and rear light bracket,
on the flat,although it looks like a staged shot so probably in for repair :wink:

probably long gone,but wonder if the tractor survived.Old calendar pic's.not very good quality.

Have to include this pic of my late Dad taken during WW2 in North Africa at the wheel of a Bedford. He was lorry driver for years and years but ended up a fitter. He said Bedford's were a sensible lorry, easy to repair and reliable.
