Looks very Bedford TK. Any view of the sticking-out front indicators - lollipop or choc-ice?? |

... just seen http://pics.imcdb.org/20516/screenshot-15_11_201519_02_30.jpg which looks choc-ice?? And seems to have big butch bumpers, so maybe one of the enhanced TK variations?? |

Its the civilian version of the MK 4x4 , looks like a film crew generator truck. |

 JCB Assuming its four-wheel drive its a Bedford MK with twin rears 11-ton maximum weight in civilian form. "Both military and civilian chassis are offered.... The option in both cases is 9.00-20 with twin rears, when the permissible maximum weight goes up to 11 tons for both types." Link to "archive.commercialmotor.com" Conversions of the TK to 4x4 were also made by other manufacturers but it appears to have all the other MK features. Link to "archive.commercialmotor.com" |

Enlarged detail from YouTube screen-capture showing front of vehicle. MK bumper, towing point and headlight height plus chrome-on-black Bedford badge so 1971-1976. Without the bold white grille lettering used from 1972, possibly removed on this vehicle? Edit: The smaller 'B E D F O R D' chromed letters are visible and a possible 'K' registration is seen in episode 1.05 therefore 1971-1972. ![[Image: mk.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/558/mk.jpg) Livery appears to be HTV (Harlech Television) the Production Company for the series. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BoK4k6gIUAE1caM.jpg -- Last edit: 2015-11-17 16:30:49 |
