Sunbar ◊ 2014-08-26 15:01	No unlike the 1931 trucks and buses WHG WLB WLG WS it was introduced as seen with the more up-to-date grille. 1934 Bedford 3-Tonner 1938 Bedford 3-4½ Tonner Radiator surround, headlamps mounted lower and bonnet louvre design from July 1938 onwards, so assuming 1937 registration date is correct these parts somehow were replaced later. -- Last edit: 2016-07-04 22:16:10
