Looks like a Bedford to me, TJ at a guess. |

Is TJ confirmed? Only asking because I can't find another in our collection. |

The TJ series was originally the J series, so that's how they are listed: /vehicles.php?make=bedford&model=j |

Ex Wikipedia "The pre-war K, M and O types continued in production alongside the heavier S types until 1953. Vauxhall had already gone for a transatlantic styling with its E Model Wyvern and Velox saloons, and Bedford followed suit with its mid-range of trucks in 1953. Designated as the TA series, the new range were mechanically very similar to their predecessors, but featured a new Chevrolet-inspired cab. The 'T' designation meant "truck", so the range is generally referred to as the A series. Numbers 2, 3, 4 and 5; as in A2, etc., identified the weight rating. A factory-fitted Perkins diesel engine was an option. The TA (A) series was updated in 1957, and became the TJ, or J series. The Bedford TJ normal control light truck was introduced in 1958, available with either petrol or diesel engines. Although never a big seller in the home market (with the exception of the GPO), it was a big export earner in developing countries, due to its basic layout and specification, and remained in production (for export markets only) until production of Bedford vehicles ceased." |

So safe to go TJ here? Should someone who knows their Bedfords (which ain't me) try pulling out more TJs from the J collection? |

Not a Bedford J but an A type confirmed by the two part windscreen and wheel-arches without any flared edges. |
