What about this one, found a minute ago on one of my usual French forums? It’s said it’s Bedford, but who will say more about it? Thanks!

It’s got a Bedford badge…

Built on Bedford SB Coach chassis with Plaxton front end

Thanks!

B515 TFO.jpgthese are my two the only problem with the TM is it might not go past the house and even if we achieve that its debatable it will go in the garage as its 2.9 high and the garage is 3.0m and the approach is up hill, so thinking reversing it in would bring it in more level,

Interesting indeed! Thanks!


Here’s a small Bedford I believe is a Type O, undergoing restoration in Belgium. Its engine was replaced by a V8, probably Ford.


A Val with a DAF-style cab! Dutch, of course!

Would thet be fitted in the standard cab or need extending the cab?

went into the standard cab , pull the seats forward and drop the front section down .

Looks cosy. No good if you were over 5ft 4" tall though

The TK and the KM suited me perfectly as I am 5ft 4ins and just over 9 stone, slept like a log’
My bed base was an ex caravan single mattress, fitted perfectly on the back shelf.

Cheers, Ray Smyth.

we went the whole hog and just put a caravan on the back and slept in them when needed , these 2 have optional air conditioning curtesy of a car transporter somewhere near haverhill

I wouldn’t want to spend enough time in a TK, to need to sleep in it. :frowning:

Looks like you had to take the back off the passenger seat and chuck it on the floor
