Less than thirty, forty, fifty years ago, almost the whole of the Netherlands was driving a Bedford truck. From mover to coal farmer, from oil farmer to sand rider. A Bedford had the right price / quality ratio, was extremely strong and did not break.
Of the many tens of thousands of copies, only a hundred (?) Are left. And those owners know that finding the right parts is a nightmare. Typically, hours are spent at the computer, on the phone, and at scrap yards. It continues to help, because 'new' is always better, isn't it? In Great Britain we discovered - by chance - Midland Automotive Parts Ltd., located on Shrewsbury Road in Market Drayton, Shropshire, which for all Bedfords of the types AWD, J, TK, TL, TM and so on - also the buses and military vehicles!) almost all parts - at least the mechanical, but also a lot of sheet metal - can still deliver new (!). Further information: telephone 0044-1630-656.990.

I think there are certainly more than 100 Bedford`s left in the Netherlands. I have completely restored 15 not all you can see yourself. I am now in hospital with a malignant disease so work is standing still. I also have many Bedford parts sales also stand still.
