Original body and use with the BBC unknown. The vehicle can also be found in other TV programmes, but fitted with a dropside body, with or without a canvas tilt, so after the BBC I guess it may have belonged to a company supplying vehicles to film & TV companies. - /vehicle_805292-Bedford-M-Type-1952.html
