Bedford TM 3800

[@rogerdraycott3486]

Just retired from Vauxhall after 44 years, did my fork truck training at the Bedford truck factory in Dunstable. Happy memories of these beautiful trucks being built in DJ block.

[@EKJ22]

Thats a damm nice Bedford, I remember there was one close to my home, when I was a kid , you will never forget the sound of a detroit 2-stroker. Haustan.

When i was an apprentice at Chester Engineering we had one of these as a wrecker. Such a distinctive truck. I loved it. What a distinctive sounding engine. :)

[@rocketdragon8419]

I Learnt To Drive In One Of These & Fell In Love With It. My Late Father Had Both Detroit V8 & Cummings. They Really Are Gorgeous Trucks To Eyes & Ears. Cheers For Showing This Little Beauty.

[@dwightcorbett8889]

Andy Powell Commercials in Hereford has just finished a fantastic TM that was originally on the motor show stand, looks great.

[@frankbing1]

Great video, brings back happy memories when i drove them at Marks & Spencers (BOC Transhield) at Crewe Cheshire as an agency driver many years ago, i also noticed one of the pictures at 5:18 of F.G. Chambers from my own town of Stoke On Trent UK.

[@raylooney1788]

[@davidbaker8957]

Was it left hand drive when you got it or have you changed it over? Just wondering if it was an old Arthur oakleys one as he had a few 4x2 ones. You’ve done a great job on her looking the dogs b’s. He had a day cab one as well like the one in your garage I swear that reg looks familiar to the day cab one he had. Was it from oakleys? My grandad used to drive there and I used to go with him all the time when I was a boy. Be great to know.

[@aymanellakany8793]

Good morning ,I want to know how much does a Bedford truck j6 cost before you repair it since we sell it used parts after cutting into pieces ?

[@byoungtractors]

That really is a credit to you, wish my one was as nice as that, could you get a vid on here of someone giving it some up the road would sound awsome.

[@zuhairabdulmajeed4724]

شاحنة ممتازة

[@CreRay]

It's a 2 stroke engine, so it sounds like it's running twice the speed it's actually doing. If you look at the revcounter you see it's running about 450rpm.

[@aldegryse]

Mooie machine Ton, Jammer dat dit nooit wat geworden is hier

[@beverlymitchell4641]

POWERTRAN DIESEL. SOME TOOL OLD SKOOL

[@melvyncox3361]

Looker❤😎👍!

[@rogerredding5269]

A beautiful looking truck in its time comfortable to drive in its time ? But engine to high reving all the time with the 2 stroke diesel ⛽? Noisey? just needed a leyland or gardener engine 🚂 option? Perfect. For this vehicle 🚜.?low revving powerful and gearbox to match the vehicle. High top speed in its class? Perfect combination.? Lol

[@andrewking4885]

No mate stuff the Gardner or Leyland boom boom putt putt it's a Detroit Diesel.
