I saw this vehicle last year at MVT show at Kemble and thought it was a bit strange especially seeing as its gloss. However I do remember seeing a TV documentry in colour about wartime Britain which had a Bedford in the background that was painted two brightly contrasting shades of green. But even allowing for wartime colour movie film, the base colour was not as pea green as on this restored vehicle.
It also looks odd as its not what we expect, just like a pink Spitfire; who ever heard of one of those!
NB - the TV Documentry was the 'WW2 in Colour' one that was narrated by the late John Thore but I cannot remember the exact name of it.
