Glad you like the pics. How did you get on with the petrol engine Tks ?
Can remember the family firm running nothing but Bedfords from the mid 60s onwards. Think they had a petrol engine one for a very short time, they didnt rate them. Think they had a 4 cyl diesel as well, which they also got rid of rather sharpish
Hello Suede head , bit before my time but i was told by dad that the petrol engine was a nightmare and cost him a fortune , and was replaced with a Commer/Karrier which was a great motor , we had Commers and Dodges for some years after that .

The 4th a TK luton was ordered as fibreglass but they rang to say the Fibreglass plant that made the flat panels had broken down so there would be a delay unless we had it built in plymax which we did,
