Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This is a rare 1973 Bedford TK horse box, converted by Vincent, a specialist coachbuilder. It features a six-cylinder petrol engine, front and side loading, and a groom/tack area, catering to equestrian needs and is reported to have been recently renovated. Recent brake overhaul, MoT, and road tax are also noted.
Condition

While the vehicle has undergone a sympathetic renovation and re-commission, retaining its original layout, the description mentions it's a 1973 model, implying it's over 50 years old.

The presence of a recent brake overhaul and MoT test certificate suggests some maintenance, but the overall condition is hard to assess without more specifics.
