Old HGV\'s - where can I get one?

[Brett]

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:

I really want one of these:

But I don\'t think I can justify the 15L V8 :Giggle

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...
