Sad MW Bedford

While wandering around the back blocks of Narre Warren yesterday , I spotted this sad MW Bedford . It's almost beyond hope as rust has eaten through the chassis in places . What a pity that most of us are U.S. or Canadian centred when it comes to MV's. As far as I know, nobody has taken on a MW here , and they are out there .

Mike,

From the number it is a 1941 build date. A great shame it has gone to far, because they are great little trucks and still very popular in England.

hi There are more of these around here in Vic. than you would think. I know of one that was on a property at Labertouche in West Gippsland , a club member here beat me to it and it sold for scrap value only .

There was another up past Ararat ? in Stackpools yard along with a Yankee Joe Chevy and also the remains of a GPA .. that was many years ago . Is the MW still there ? Mike
