That’s the name of this 1971 Bedford CF and he has been rebuilt as a tribute to a coal merchant from the past. The build was carried out to an astonishingly-high standard by owner Paul Bundy. We’ll let Paul tell the story.
I HAD been looking for a Bedford CF for some time, with a view to re-create a breakdown truck that my friend, Billy, once owned for use in his scrapyard. I had driven and worked on this vehicle many times and remember it well. On Christmas Day 2012, I was visiting my friend and while browsing the latest vintage magazine, saw a classified advert for this Bedford. Also, there was a photo of it under a barn and it was blue, like Billy’s one. I asked my friend if I could use his telephone and he replied: “You can’t phone today, it’s Christmas Day.”
