My dad was a mechanic for Unigate/StIvel, working predominantly on Bedford’s like these, they ran around 30 lorries out of Bedford but after taking over wincanton Transport they operated around 60 motors until they shut the depot down and moved it to Huntington.

Not sure what to make of this tbh. Nmp can’t decide if I like it or don’t like it.0
I think it’s grotesque. It looks like one of those poor imitation models that you can buy in the souvenir shops in big cities and whoever did the signwriting at the front should be sacked.

t]A lot of TKs in these photos We ran a mixed fleet with Bedfords making up about 60% (TKs and TMs) along with AEC ERF Seddon Leyland Dodge Commer Atkinson Foden Ford Mercedes, DAF Magirus Deutz & Guy making up the remainder All in all Bedford gave us much better service
Early TK in front of Pelpel bodybuilders France from famous Drouin haulage firm.
Caught in Belgium, 2019, and seen on one of my usual French forums this morning. TK cab, but looks a bit heavy.

A re-cabbed KM perhaps?

Was it actually a different cab on TKs/KMs? I thought it was just wings and the bumper that differed. On the KM (I think it is) in the photo I think the big, KM, bumper has been replaced by the optional bumper for TKs. Why? Who knows? But I could be wrong!

Looks like a mattress and a pillow on the parcel shelf. You would have to be a shortarse to kip in that

But we (I) did - 6foot and over as well - not the Ritz but better than most of the digs available at the time
