Bedford timber winch for sale

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

Re: Bedford timber winch for sale

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?

Re: Bedford timber winch for sale

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
