Default Great shots, Nuyt!

Isn't that a Bedford front axle?

Default Bedford w/CMP cab?

Hi there

Curiouser and curiouser.

Note the increased distance between the top of the door and the lower edge of the roof.

And the far greater set-back of the front axle.

Yes.......I'd put my money on a Bedford QLR Command version with a makeshift cab off a CMP.

Default Aha! So...,

it's a Bedford that thinks he is somebody else, but doesn't do a good job at it and he doesn't fool types like you lot for a second.

Hmmm, let's call him Hugh Grant.
