That was the '78 ‘Long-Haul’ special, all kitted out with kitchen pack etc. The standard LHD TM at that time had a Detroit 400 bhp lump and a 9-speed Fuller; though later ones had a ■■■■■■■ L10:290 with the same 'box. Robert

And ^^^this wasn’t an entirely new thing because Bedford were putting the Detroit / 9-sp Fuller driveline in some of their KM models (as an option), like the one shown below. Robert

I was just thinking- bet it’s not a 300 & 4-speed!
And I do hope nobody’s going to mention a 240 Gardner.

If it were 4sp they’d be 3 of em that wouldn’t get a lot of use.

Be fair… there was reverse as well.

Army brought in to lay a temporary Rd to recover a crashed aircraft at Luton Airport in the early 70s. Scaned from my old 126mm Negs so not brill, but hope of interest.
