215 Bedford TJ

Production of the Bedford TJ began in 1958 as Bedford’s new bonneted truck model, and was a modernised version of the Bedford TD series, modelled after the Chevrolet Advance Design truck. The TJ truck was produced in many versions, ranging from light pickups to heavy-duty vehicles, with payloads up to 6-8 tons. Unfortunately, due to their relatively dated styling and presumably since bonneted trucks were falling out of favor these years, the TJ series was not very popular in the United Kingdom and did not sell in big numbers, with the exception of the AA and Post Office Telephones. In particular, Holland's Pies in Lancashire used a large fleet of TJ vans well into the 1980s, the main picture shows the pantechnicon body, a large luton type back used by a number of military organisations, the model is offered as a base  with cab chassis and wheels, different backs are then offered to complete the vehicle including the previously mentioned pantechnicon and eventually (hopefully) also a tipper. pickup, ambulance and mini bus as well as anything else that I can,
