Hiya Dave…thanks to Tracey we know its her who dose the photo work been as things are.
If that KM is a double drive(looks like it is) i,am sure its a rare one of only about 50 made
by Bedfords…most of them was trailing axle conversions…Shirleys in Stoke had one that got the
Gas axe about 3 years ago.that one was ex royal navy.

I can’t recall Griffiths & Hartland running that one John.Will have to have another trip to that site and ask the owner a bit more about it.
Cheers Dave.
I’d put money on that being a trailing axle. Are you going to have a look, Dave?

Yes definitely a trailing axle if you blow the picture up you can see the link arm and that the rear axle has no halfshaft bolts!

I would say that this Bedford KM didn’t start life as a six wheeler,judging by the wheelbase.I would think it was a four wheeler with a trailing axle and bulk body added for use on a farm.The back end has RHM on it,unless Griffiths & Hartland were taken over by them.
Cheers Dave.
I saw these today in Blaenau Ffestiniog today.
Old constructor on Tilbury docks I saw yesterday.
Spotted these out on my travels last week.
Sorry about the crappy phone pictures. Better than nothing I suppose. The Foden had the remains of a Gardner Turbo badge on the grille, can’t be many of those left about… (I am happy to be wrong though)
