40 years ago I used to drive these. We had 3 of them in the yard. A pleasure to drive and very comfortable. Your man gave a smooth drive apart from a couple of scratchy changes. Brought back memories. Very enjoyable.
This Is amazing!🙂
Thanking you 🥰
Brilliant what a sound that engine makes it's fantastic just love it always have always will good on you keeping them going 👍
That's the plan!
Beautiful day and a lovely relaxing bus journey. Top video
We thank you loads for your kind comment, please do look at our other videos !!
Great video. Snowing is now double de clutching should be done.
The best egnine sound ever
Beautiful engine just like the driver 😉
Absolutely a brilliant video man I just subscribe to your channel. This is the first time I’ve ever heard one of these buses ever do you think you could do more like this one? Because wow stay safe man.
I see you have the Turner "Chinese" box in that old girl. I drove one of these for a while back in the 70`s. A few dodgy changes from me until I got used to it. Then I went back to my regular Bedford YRT with a "normal" box.
Wonderful!! This is why we restore these old girls to bring back these memories!!
At one time I drove a 10m rear engine Seddon coach with a "back to front" Chines box. The rear mounted Perkins engine faced the rear with the gearbox pointing inwards. It was interesting to drive!
Can you do video of Albion Viking EVK45CL with the distinctive whine sound?
Coachbuilt by craftsmen, note how the screw slots on the door are all vertical.
Ian Morral thanks for watching buddy!
I copped that myself perfecto..
Is this Leyland 400 powered? It reminds me of the 1983 Leyland Super Vikings when the engine is labouring and I read some Bedfords had this engine option.
Yes engine replaced with a leyland! I cannot find out exactly which one as this is no longer in our collection!
@@nottinghamareabussociety4278 Sounds like a 400 series. Makes a distinctive noise when it begins to accelerate. At first I thought it had a Beddy 500!
Somewhat unusual gear change layout on VAL14's I believe?
Glyn Coles I have no idea myself but I will find out more information for you !
Forth and fifth are back to front
It`s a Turner gearbox. They were known as the "Chinese" gearbox. Yes they did have a different gear pattern. I drove one for a short while. back in the 70`s.
I drove a rear engine 10 metre Seddon with a back to front "Chinese" box which made for interesting driving.
Great Video.
Is this a Leyland Engine?
yes it is, this bus is no longer in our collection anymore.
Great video. Showing how double de clutching should be done 👍
Yarp. Narp?
In Malaysia also have,Bedford bus at early 80,Bedford SB5, and Bedford TK , economy disel engine
Not my favourite vehicles! I always thought them very under-powered which means slow building up the speed and continually working down the box at the 1st sniff of a hill, whereas my AEC Reliance 760 would just stay in 6th most of the time. However, my pet VAL hate was the very light front end.
They all had there difference’s and better routes to be ran on.
Nice bus, would make an ideal conversion to electric.

It’s a good job this vehicle hasn’t got a range change gearbox in it with this clown driving it,hasn’t got a clue what gear he’s in half the time,hope he’s not licensed to carry passengers because with 49 passengers on board he wouldn’t have a clue how to drive the thing.
I AGREE WITH YOU,, Bill Redfern from the REAL BartoN Transport Ltd Chilwell from 1961 until redundant by trent,
