Only got the one.

A rare shot of 1962 registered Bedford TK four wheeler Reg No 5899 TB which was driven from new by Jack Robinson
who then passed it on to the late Jimmy Lomas.
Used mainly on local work around the Lancashire area it was driven in it’s later days by long time serving Joe Masterson.

Saw an orange six wheel TM recovery truck with a full sleeper on the back of a low loader on the M180 heading towards Grimsby this morning, unfortunately driving so unable to get a photograph

Off a French forum…old Bedford resting up somewhere in France

A bit like old Smith of Maddiston Drivers, you think?

These were Hardings (brs),they were dozens of them running 24/7 from Cowley to the Midlands .very useful to us on general as they were a “taxi” service for us to get lifts home and back to Coventry after a "night out " . --toshboy

fraternising with the enemy - Morris Commercial LC cabs!

The Bedford dealership I worked for (briefly!) used to service/repair some of Slumberlands vehicles. Because the old workshop was low they had to remove the wheels and run the vehicles into the workshop by using slave rims on temporary rails, luckily in my time there a new purpose built commercial workshop had been built! Replaced an engine or two out of those TK’s though!
