Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1936 Bedford ASYC 8cwt Van, sold for £5,625, has a unique history, having been used by Loveday & Loveday removals and later GB Liners. It's one of only seven believed to survive and has had a recent engine overhaul, adding to its appeal despite some wear and tear.
Condition
7
The car is described as a 'rare survivor' in 'really delightful condition'. However, it was 'slightly the worse for wear' in 2021 with a cracked engine block and head, which have since been repaired. It has covered fewer than 200 miles since the engine overhaul. There's evidence of wear over its long history, but it seems well-maintained now. This car requires minor reconditioning.

At £155, the ASYC represented the cheapest six-cylinder goods model then available.
Impressively for the time, it had synchromesh on third and top, and it remained in production until 1939.
We are pleased to offer a rare survivor – reputedly one of just seven – in really delightful condition.
Although few specifics of its early history are known, it is understood that this ASYC was originally supplied to Mr. Jim Loveday of the Loveday & Loveday removals company of Cirencester, hence it appears beautifully painted in their livery.
Mr. Loveday must have had a soft spot for the old Bedford, as he still owned it in the 1980s, treating it to a very thorough overhaul before he ret...
