Picture is not very clear but looks like a M-type or K-type from the bonnet vents. There are similar (but not identical vehicles) here K-type http://ccmv.fotopic.net/p26085778.html a 1938 Bedford KD edit: ccmv now lists it as a Bedford MSC. M-type http://ccmv.fotopic.net/p27759748.html a 1939 Bedford MLZ. The registration 'BM' is for Luton/Bedfordshire. The main picture looks like it could be a water tender with escape ladder so I think M-type is more likely being the larger load capacity. -- Last edit: 2009-10-24 16:23:01 |
