Bedford timber winch, 100% complete, agricultural registered, 4x4, i took the photos last year, and my memory of exact model is vague, but i think its an RL, with the later QL cab plonked on top (not yet fixed down). think its got a straight 6 petrol in it.
was layed up 15 year ago as the ministry pulled it over for having a rear light out (rear light system was just a trailer board) and no-one ever fixed it, stood there eversince







if i had a big enough workshop, id have it!

any questions, as here, and i'll ask him as soon as, as seller doesnt want strangers ringing him up

would need to be collected with a big trailer

I would love an old Bedford, but i do not have a big workshop, let alone a workshop. I take it that it will need completely stripping downand re-building?

depends how far you want to go with the rebuild, its agri registered still, so aslong as its in safe roadworthy condition, i think youre legal??
i dont know what needs doing to be honest, as i said, it was working 100% when it was parked up, the engine was fired up again a few years later, but hasnt done anything ever since

i personally think the later cab doesnt suit it, it should have the older style slab sided cab

if it doesnt find a home soon, i'll be forced to find a home for it as his old man is threatining to weigh it in and that would be a real shame. comes with lots of local history

What no response from flaming ace yet?




looks a useful bit of kit, i would let my uncle and dad know as they are getting into bodge it and scarper forestry services, but to be honest i worry about them with the iffy cherry picker they have acquired already, anyway seriously how many free brambles will you chuck in the deal

i'll go allong the bottem with the hedge cutter, and you can have the lot, please bear in mind that if theres blackberrys on the brambles the price will go up £ for lb

yeah, where is ace

Put an ad in Classic & Vintage Commercials Magazine, it will go to a good home in no time.

cheers tom

thats an RL cab

ace will drive that up the motorway behind pappy in the 1 armed davey broon

ill gi you a 100 quid for it mate.
