Not rotary related, (well it will be sort of, given time :wiggle) but I\'m looking for a Historic truck. Preferably an old generator or recovery truck... (I want historic status for the MOT/TAX exemption)
I\'ve already got access to a Matador, but I want something a little smaller to convert to transporter/trackside support unit...
Been thinking of an ex-MOD Bedford MK 4x4, but have no experience of these... (and have just missed out on buying one :()
So, oh mighty MRC knowledge guru\'s.... anyone got any ideas? :Thumbs-up
Bedfords are tough and simple, designed to be maintained in warzones. They come up regularly on the disposal services agency website.
Yeah, been having a look - but most of the ones up for grabs at the moment are too modern for what I want...
This is the one I missed out on:

This sort of thing? May not be old enough for Historic Vehicle Status.
Been looking at that one on mod-sales... but I think the MOT & Tax costs would kill off my plans ;(
Plus it needs to be pre 1960 or I have to start taking lots more tests...
