Default Ql

A vet told me that he was driving a Bedford QL once, and this must have been on tarmac, and was really moving along at warp speed. He recanted that General Montomery was following behind in his staff car and waved down Sergeant Yeates, only to tell him that he was doing 80 mph! Now, this figure seems wildly inaccurate but Ray later headed a transport fleet of Bedfords for a GM subsidiary and was no mean driver. I can imagine that a 4x2 Chevrolet would be able to do 50 and surely that's as fast as you would want to go with cross-country or sand tyres?
