Been posting in the introductions board, and thanks to all who replied, but no one has really answered my question. Is £4500 a reasonable price for an up and running solid and usable Bedford OWL in civvie trim that wouldnt win prizes but certainly wouldnt look out of place at a show these days? I have been out of the vintage commercial scene for a while but I thought it was a bit expensive but thats what it would take to buy it or it stays in its shed. And what would be a "Faire offre raisonnable" for this french truck http://www.leboncoin.fr/utilitaires/876200050.htm?ca=4_s disregarding travel costs?

Cheers everyone,

My old man drove an MW from Leeds to Wolfsberg in 1945/46 and then was rhe driver of the british commanding officer of that area. He swapped a few packets of cigarettes for a german Mercedes staff car but if unfortunately got left behind when they went home. Got some pics of the MW and at the VW factory but unfortunately not of the Merc!

Yes thats exactly what it is. Chassis number OWLD***** with twin rear wheels. Allegedly 1942.

Asking negotiable £5k for usable smart but not perfect up and running truck is that reasonable or not???

Hi Everyone

Seriously considering buying an up and running civilianised Bedford OWL i have been offered. Thought I would sign up, get the gossip and see what you all think!
