Bigjohn Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Hi folks, thought I'd do the decent thing and say hello. I've just bought a Bedford MWD Aero-screen which arrives tomorrow so no doubt I will be asking for lots of advice in the very near future. The vehicle is a runner but needs a little work. The intention is to take it to local events and get involved in a little reenactment. I will be aiming to keep things as authentic as is practicable but I'm not a rivet counter. The vehicle will not be restored to showroom condition but will be maintained and kept roadworthy in a condition commensurate with a 1938 Bedford that had survived till 1944! I'm looking forward to getting to know who's who and what's what . Best wishes John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Welcome John. Since when were military vehicles in 'Showroom' condition? :-D Especially if you get into re-eancting! Be prepared for boot marks on the floor, throwing drunks into the back, mud from arenas, just what they were built for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
