Sunbar ◊ 2020-01-25 22:16	Earlier discussion here /vehicle.php?id=1139656 Looking for logic in model designations is fraught with problems. How a system was used changed as time passed and also marketing got involved. Unlike Ford, GM and therefore Vauxhall-Bedford never used the model designation as part of the part number system. T for trucks first introduced with the A type as TA (CA being the van). TB never used in production. TC and C - based on the current S-type (which was never TS. TD and D - based on the TA or A type. J and TJ were used interchangeably the range being J0 J1, J2 etc. With the new TK full designations were changed. TK was always TK never K (the TK was advertised prominently as was KM which was actually 'TKM' the lesser trucks being TKA, TKB, TKC etc to TKH).
