  1. Little wink in the discussion... my Bedford MW was in the movie... and the renting allow me to install a new rolling door for my truck's garage!

    I naturally have seen the movie and think like many others that he was more a good dramatic storie more that one historic recontitution... But human crisis was rather good painted...  and british Soldiers quite appreciated!

  2. Hello MV fans!

    I'm a Owner of a 1943 BedFord MWD, living in a little village on the hills of Spa in Belgium.

    Member of the Belgian Military Vehicle Trust (B.M.V.T.) from 1994, I, of course, take all the opportunities for rolling with my old truck on the typicals little roads of the Ardennes, and naturally, every five years to Normandy for D-Day commemorations!

    There are not many british vehicles in the Ardennes, because almost only americans were in WWII on the east of the Meuse river, and I'm often the only one british vehicle in the groups! But I'm very proud of this!

    Always looking for technical informations on Bedford MW, I have found a mine of pictures and informations from other Bedford fans in the HMVF forum, and that is always a great pleasure for me and that give me new ideas for compleeting my truck...

    Thanks for accepting me in your group!

    All the best for all of the members!

  4. Hello,

    Owner of a mostly complete 1943 BEDFORD MW I'm happy to joint the community of little crazy MV collectors!

    I live on the heights of the well-know thermal city of Spa in Belgium.
