Doubt it's as late as 74... |

DVLA info is odd for 1974 date - XDF xxx series was issued June-July 59. I guess this is Bedford D-type - introduced about 1957; if not D-type, things like small doors and split windscreen suggest same sort of late 50s date. 1974 design would be much more modern. |

I would have thought the date was more like late 1950s. I think that the J type was in production by 1959, going by the pictures I have found. I would say that 1959 would be the very last of these D types. By 1974 they were near to the end of the J models - or maybe they had finished? Even the engine size given is odd. These all used the 214 engine which is about 3.6 litres. -- Last edit: 2011-03-24 09:52:54 |

Its an ambulance body on a Bedford A (1 or 1.5 ton) probably a Lomas body. XDF 642 was a 1960s Bedford A-type ambulance used by the Military so originally had a military registration. The DVLA data suggests it was re-registered in 1974 for civilian use. http://www.ambulancepreservation.co.uk/1960/xdf642.htm |

The film is now on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyYzqJY1akI Looks like the ambulance was destroyed in the making of the film. -- Last edit: 2023-10-02 17:38:48 |
