Evening all. I am wondering if any of you can help us track down my late father in laws Bedford oyd?? Reg number 1220df build date of 1944 & was sand in colour.

Was sold in the early 90's & we have seen a picture of it in a magazine where it was abandoned in a field around the oxford area i think.....

According to dvla its on sorn but that doesnt mean much.

Any clues to the where abouts would be appreciated thanks

A pair of humber one ton rear tool boxes in very good straight condition with very slight surface rust. £40. Will post

Are you after one up and running ready to go or one to tidy up?

Morning guys!

 

Have asked Jim to check the numbers to see where we are at.

 

What vehicles do you have?

Leyland hippo & bedford qlr.

Also dragged out the shed and not used for years is this A frame drawbar. adjustable width and legs slide out to approx 5ft in length(shown with one leg in and one out) Will take a nato hitch using the grey adaptor shown in the pics or go on a drawbar pin. Has various adaptors to fit vehicle end in a clevis style. Not sure what this was designed to be used with. £50

Here are a couple of tool lockers found in my shed. Marked with an FV number so post war but I don't know what they are off. £20 each :undecided:

Due to lack of time thanks to work (always gets in the way of things) halftrack wont be ready in time for the event.. :embarrassed:

Hippo and QLR ready an waiting in the wings though...

International m5 halftrack. Currently in bits but going back together hopefully before the event!!

Evening all! After registering an interest do we wait for an invite to attend? As its only 6 weeks until the event i would have though i might have heard something by now. Hoping to attend with a hippo, qlr & halftrack.

We took part in both the previous events with our hippo so thought would be nice to take part again.

Must be a Hyster ? that era. Teledyne Continental was most popular.

Thanks for the info.:blush:

All sorted!! Thanks for your help! :laugh:

Thanks lads! Will ring Monday and see what the score is. :laugh:

Hello Bob, It is a bit further down than I would have liked but hey. I will check out some other routes first and get back to you if that's ok.

Thanks, Nige

Hello all

I am off to Lytham st anne's near Blackpool on the 16th of feb to collect a project vehicle, we are coming up from Dorset so thought we would like to spend a couple days looking around the area but will need to park my loaded trailer out of the way for a couple of days whilst we are there. Trailer is 21ft long and about 7ft wide. Outside is fine.

Any of you kind hearted folks in the area able to help me out with this please? pm me any ideas.

Thanks in advance, Nigel

I saw it on the lorry yesterday as it was arriving at its new home and it did look a bit ahem holey..... ! A great project though.

Hi Clive

We will be there from Monday with the hippo and qlr ! Hope the weather holds out but who cares as we always have a great time no matter what the weather, who's scared of a bit of mud. The news did a great job last year of finding the worst spots on the site and scaring people off!

A fantastic event for all ages! Woohoo!

Leyland hippo and a Bedford qlr with a group of 4 people please.

Add an M5 halftrack as well with 2 people please.

Did the other A&E's so be great to take part in the next edition to!! :-D

Hi Rich, Top Gear in bridport are long life stainless steel exhaust agents and make them bespoke if required. I have had 3 Bedford ql exhausts a k6 and a munga system there in the past to name a few and have been very good. Worth a shout!
