Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

However, the absence of a documented maintenance history and a noted discrepancy in engine size might be points of consideration for potential buyers.

Condition

The lorry received a restoration in 2024 and is described as being in impressive overall condition. It runs and drives well. However, the description notes a lack of maintenance history, and some discrepancy in engine size, which prevents a higher rating.

Description

This Bedford TK dropside lorry received a restoration in 2024.

We're told it runs and drives well, with 21,283 miles showing on the odometer.

It was built in 1985, re-registered in 1996, and has been registered to its latest keeper since 2019.

The lorry appears to be in impressive overall condition, but unfortunately there is no maintenance history.

The only paperwork is the current V5C which indicates 3 former keepers.

The engine is a four-cylinder turbodiesel which is recorded on the V5C as being 4.6-litres, although we believe original spec would be 3.6 litres.
