Bedford MW "early"


Higgins kpt.

Recommended Posts

Hi to all MW owners,

 

have chassis MWG 33131 (first half 1941 build ?)

 

think it was identical to this MW from Malta air museum

 

non official my name "MW early 2nd pattern"

 

becouse information about this model is in Instruction book for Bedford four wheeled W.D. type trucks- may 1941,

 

"fly screens", without doors, second model instrument panel, etc.

 

search more about this model, for future restoration my wreck,

 

think is only few info about date and details for changes on MW model

 

in war time?

 

Welcome more info.

 

thanks for help

Usually if it is a 41 model , then the fixed doors and full windscreen should already be installed .

If the body sides can be folded down half ways , then it is still possible to be an aeroscreen one . First fixed door bedfords were converted Aerosreen versions.

I think there was a period where both cabbed and aeroscreen bedfords were produced, I have some wartime film of the Mw's and you can clearly see the later dash in an MWV, it also has all the later features such as bush bar, lights, and engine side panels. I think the film i have is dated 1941.

 

Did you get the chassis number off it?
