Mid -1939 saw a complete revamp of Bedford's product range; it consisted of the K (30–40 cwt), MS and ML (2–3 ton), OS and OL (3–4 ton), OS/40 and OL/40 (5 ton) series, and the OB bus.

Post WWII the pre-war K, M and O types continued in production alongside the heavier S types until 1953.

Vauxhall had already gone for a transatlantic styling with its E Model Wyvern and Velox saloons, and Bedford followed suit with its mid-range of trucks in 1953.

Designated as the TA series, the new range were mechanically very similar to their predecessors, but featured a new Chevrolet-inspired cab.

EWF was purchased by our vendor c.1973 and has been fully restored with new wiring, a rebuilt engine (some 6000 miles ago) and the bodywork repaired and painted.

The interior is original.

In good running order it is currently being used to display a Tangye Hot Tube stationary engine, c.1910, serial number 24931BR, 57" diameter wheel, open crank, in running order.
