1974 BEDFORD TK TRUCK | MATHEWSONS CLASSIC CARS | 12 & 13 NOVEMBER 2021 

Passed my first HGV test in one of these at RAF St Athan in 1994 whilst in the RAF. 😎👍

My late Dad's favourite truck, he loved driving them, remember being in the cab with him as a nipper and he was smiling from ear to ear driving around, think he enjoyed it more than his car, love to think I could buy this lovely truck in memory of Dad

“Not the best cab in the world”. ? Wish my living room looked as good. Huge credit to whoever restored this wonderful old truck.

i like all old British made vehicles 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🚚🚚

The nicest condition TK I’ve ever seen, the 330 engine sounds lovely 🥰

Absolutely crackin motor.Haven't driven one of those since 1976.In fact haven't seen one for about 40years..amazing condition.

Brings back great memories of my 17 years as a delivery coalman, between 78\95, never drove anything but bedfords, usually overweight by 30 + cwt bags of coal or a ton and a half,no problem for these hardworking lorries, but the coal was going off the lorry that fast back when every house in country had coal fires that when the fly weights and measures men ambushed us we were usually legal,or underweight haha, brilliant, and the heaters when they were working were brilliant in the winters, trying to heat up your frozen and soaking hands at the front of the wee box heater with the side flaps, just like the engine side flaps, brilliant if you needed a pee at the side of the road, just lean in as if you're checking the engine haha, happy days and memories of good people, and hard work.

A great looking truck from 1974 this Bedford tk it's a classic in more ways than one.

😪😪😪😪 wish I had 1. That's the last lorry my late father used to drive and have so many fond memories of being out on the road with him. Chokes me up every time I see one

You can not beat a tk truck it was a Revolution in trucking the first one I drove in 1967 a fantastic work horse

They all had that rubber behind the step from the factory it had little rubber tags on that you pulled through holes in the panel to hold it in place

I worked for a chap in the early 1960's who had a late 40's Bedford flat back. It was a right worn out old knacker and a pig to start on a cold winters morning without half a can of quick start. But was reliable and took us all over the country.

Drove them when i was18 years old lovely trucks, no power steering Paul proper bit of kit has your Dad would say .

Great looking truck we'll done to the guy who restored it I used go with the coal men to deliver coal to houses on school holidays and they used these trucks

Looks good enough for a museum exhibit.

First truck I ever drove. Ministry man pointed out to me that the springs shouldn’t be pointing down, and should be level at most. Tad overloaded. 😂

Bedford Tk was a lovely truck ,drove during 80’s then had Bedford TL in 90’s ,none had power steering though but the TL had some sort of oil lubricant to steering knuckles etc ,used pull a lever and it slowly fed oil through.Miss those trucks!

I remember driving a TK in 1969, the first time I'd every driven a lorry and was a bit apprehensive, I shouldn't have been it was as easy as a car to drive. That will go for a good price and deservedly so - beautiful.

Great old trucks a nice drive back in the day such a shame Bedford died out !

Wow that’s a thing of beauty

TK Hevan proper local supply wagon love it

Sleeping across the seats back in the day

Beautiful.

That’s a 220 if I remember the sound, change down when your driving into the wind. The 330 was the better engine. No power steering on a TK but the TL got power steering

I loved driving this always started in second gear on the flat

Best described as nice

I took my HGV license in a 10 ton TK. My favourite feature was the gear lever coming through the bulkhead between the seats. Look at that "parcel shelf", would you believe that this was actually a bed? Yep the TK supposedly had the first British built sleeper cab. Thanks for showing her off.

Lovely old truck 🚚 👌 😍 ❤ my mates dad had one when truck were truck 🤟👍

Drove one once, would love to own one, but let my 7.5t licence lapse

One of my fondest memories is of Pete who drove a 16 tonne one of these with...no power steering. He'd balance rolling a fag, swigging a can of Coke, and eating an apple on the busiest roundabout in Bournemouth 😂

I love bedford tk🤎🤎

Brilliant

Super excited

Had a back shelf or bed ahead of its time

Better nick than me about the same age👍

Took my test in one of these 💪

Beautiful 😍

When's the next series back on TV.. really enjoyed watching

Drove all round the Uk in one of these in the seventies and slept a few times in the back of cab stretched out too in many a truck stop but shame this is in claret and blue west ham colours as it spoils it.

Some pudden in them inner archers

Seen a clean one at a gypsy fair one time...but wasn't as good as this one....

someone liked west ham,aston villa,burnley,and any other teams that play in claret and blue

I ran a 4 cylinder 220 cu.in....An absolute nightmare.....Burst venturi pipes.....Bad starter ..Slow.Awful..Bithe bullet virtually gave it away ...Traded up to a TK unit(Scammell coupling).with a Leyland Comet engine ..2 Speed axle ...Wowee...Flew and Loinstirring .!!.... .

Gawd this bloke don't know much about Bedford TK's does he? No, it wouldn't have power steering TK's just didn't need it. The rubber kickpad above the step was standard fitting on all new TK's. It looks like it's sitting on sixteen inch wheels, they tended to a bit arsey especially when unladen; seventeen inch wheels where much the better choice and he doesn't state whether its a four or five speed box.

british army used those trucks for 30 years

How much. Is that whatapp me
