England, 1930, and the humble Bedford Truck rolled off the production line. The years following it become one of Britain’s leading international truck manufacturers, exporting all over the world. WWII didn’t slow them down either because they developed several special models for the Allied Forces. When the flower power days hit, it must have been the extra herbs that were around. That inspired them to develop specialised utility vehicles to the modest base; fire truck, tippers, horse boxes, and flat-beds. If you happen to find one lying around in a paddock today, it could be worth a dollar or two. Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder, recently a restored 1956 Bedford went for $5,000, labour of love.
