Drove one in the 80s for 2 hours on a road test and loved it

[@paulnewsome4203]

Still looks like it means business. What a great Truck 👍👌

[@markrich6657]

Had one of these for two weeks back in 85. 290 cummins, fuller roadranger. It was a beast. Boss had it on rental/demo. Was a truck that could've made a difference to uk haulage. Timing, cost, availability. I don't know why it didn't make headway. I wasn't happy when it was returned but.....
I was blessed with a scania 142.🤔🤔🤔with all the toys.
Bedford was still a lovely truck and I would've been happy to keep it. Felt right, like it was just right. One of the BEST

Had one with the V8 Detroit , fantastic machine

[@garethjones9635]

Never drove one of these, but was told they had a reputation for being over thirsty. Still looks good, mind.

Beautiful good machine ❤

Drove a TM with a Detroit V8 from England to Italy back in the 80's, and hated it.
The bloody thing fired up backwards when I came off the ferry in Dover*

That was certainly a great catch, I often saw a bitumen tanker come into the yard where I worked and this was the tractor unit, now only if we could have also seen the Bedgord on the left of this TM Bedforc, have a great 2025, bext regards from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les

Put a 14 litre Cummins in most things in its day was brilliant

Great video Dave

[@martinburke362]

They were bloody excellent trucks much better engineerd than your Usaual British truck of the period they drove better and were more refined can't understand why they weren't a roaring success

[@MaxVanDenBergh-s7v]

What hp cumins

[@pauloneill2530]

400 Cummins & single drive would equate to low level flying
