1980's Bedford TM which was the biggest heap of crap made by Bedfords ever £7,500 ???????
34 year old truck that won't pass any emission checks today and zilch in the way of spares.
That workshop is basically a porta cabin with a £1500 lathe in it. |

I am sorry John but I would disagree on this point. In my opinion the Bedford CF was the biggest pile of. I know, I know this from first hand experience. We had one. graham Edited By Oompa Lumpa on 19/03/2014 08:16:06 |

198 forum posts | They are hopeful: Stateside we were looking at a couple of very low milage trucks complete with fully equiped workshops and generators on the back for that sort of price. We even looked into the shipping costs they were that reasonable Jo |

![]() 19226 forum posts 749 photos 86 articles | Bedford CF? Lovely bit of kit! Drove one down from Liverpool, at Stoke it sounded like a machine gun in the cab. lifted the engine cover while still running and the plug was lying on top igniting the mixture being forced out of the hole... Put plug back in finger tight and drove the last 25 miles home Seller had checked the plugs before selling it. Loads of problems with losing power on the way back from Scotland (after 1000 trouble free miles on holiday) Loose wire on the points! Aside from two patches I had to weld up for the MOT (both cosmetic but within a foot of a suspension point) that's all I recall going wrong in two years of adventure. Enough power to climb from Lynmouth to Lynton without a hiccough in third. Just drank petrol... Forgot the pic! Went to a good home but you can see the condition.
