rottie Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 right then, my names Nick an ive always had a hankering for the more unusual machines in my life. although there are no big trucks in my life the possibility of getting one has reared its head.. this is the beast in question.. far as I can work out its a Bedford MW of some description. Owned by the same family the 50 years or more.. has been off the road 30 years they reckon, was originally a water bowser by all accounts then bought by her grandfather and converted into a flatbed truck for farm use.. if anyone can point me to the ups and downs of an old truck then I would be really grateful.. all the best Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
