Very early one if plate info is correct. wiki says production from 1959 but Sunbar wrote Genuine 1961 first production model with early mirrors. so date here may be dodgy .... Also LSU 521 seems to be fitted to a 1988 Bedford MJ - http://ccmv.aecsouthall.co.uk/p685450854/h25be1414#h25be1414 so something strange going on. -- Last edit: 2016-09-13 04:25:39

Ignore the indicators and side-lights they are from a Bedford TL It has black wiper arms and blades which would normally put in the mid-1970s (cannot remember when regulations outlawing bright wiper arms started but CF would be a good indicator- 1975 or 1976) but this truck has probably been 'restored' beyond recognition. -- Last edit: 2018-11-26 19:48:22
