One of my firs jobs at 18 was for a waste paper company as a drivers mate they had a fleet of 4 2 brand new 82m Scanias and 2 aging Bedfrod TKs no comparison really but it has always left me with a fondness for the old TKs rough lacking in driver comfort air con through a kick panel at your feet , but work horses that you always remember with fondness ! !.

The Clark Mich had an unusual loader arm geometry.

How well were the TMs rated in their day? When did Bedford stop producing them?
