Just out of curiosity, is the £8k they are asking a reasonable price?

It sold on ebay about 18 months ago in same condition for half that price...

https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_16654-Bedford-M-Type-1952.html

That link has a picture of the Bedford and hitch, its listed as ex BBC. So maybe no military link.

Cheeky question but don't suppose you fancy another? It has the original engine still fitted.

I dont think I'd have a home to go to if I even brought up the idea of another...... :laugh::laugh:

Hello all,

My latest projects have landed, I've bought a pair of Fordson E4 wagons. I have had the one fitted with an engine running (yellow one), but looking for user handbook and workshop manual if anyone has one to help work out what everything does. The green ones original engine is now powering a bren gun carrier!

Thanks guys and gals

Try on retrorides forum, they love the unloved!

Yes please Sean!

cheers

Thanks Richard. All I have to do now is find someone who has three of the few remaining Commer cab Fords and needs an auxiliary gearbox shift lever gaiter and a right hand window winder for all of them!

I have done a deal on two, due to arrive very soon! Very interested in NOS parts for them!

Cheers

Thats a poorly RL! Thank you for sharing, any K9 pics?!

Anyone got a set of hoope/hoodsticks they would like to sell?

For Bedford MK or MJ, maybe Daf.

Thanks

Me too, I'm sure I replied on your other thread. Im in Preston btw.

I have one, Im in Preston Lancs.

[/center]My memory of RLs is smashing your elbow on the back of the cab when changing from 1st to 2nd.....

Yes, I found this too, the key is to change how you're holding the lever (hand in front pushing back rather than on top!).

Good luck with the rebuild. RL's have always been my favourite truck ever since seeing the chassis twisting as a child!

His ebay name says it all.....:nut:

Did the military use diesel series Landys?

Thanks for the heads up!

I love my ultrasonic cleaner, the best tool I have ever used!

Alright Graham! Good to see you made it here!

Can't wait to see the new toy.

Austin

No problem mate, I'll give you a call after work!

Hi Martin,

I have one you can borrow, I can drop it in tomorrow evening if you're free.

Welcome Peter,

K9's are great trucks, good luck in your search!

Thank you PT! :-)

Thanks again Richard. I know there are many variants such as radio relay, wireless repair etc.

Thank you Clive and Richard.

So would this be a unique number to this K9, or would it have been shared with all K9's with the same equipment?

Thanks again!

Hi guys,

I've been preparing my K9 for paint, and found these numbers under all the old paint. Anyone any idea what they could be for? I'd like to reapply them if they actually mean something.

Cheers!

Complete write off? Am I on the right site?!

I personally think that it looks quite solid, it would look a different vehicle after a pressure wash.

:-)

Ahh, I skipped the sizes bit! :blush: :-)
