Love the robotics! Nowt new under the sun!
Wow this warehouse was well ahead of the game, can't believe it, great vid 👍
I worked in the warehouse for 44years and can remember loading the trains every day with the forklift. Actually driven reachtruck 352 in the film. Great days and so sad when it was demolished in 2023. Spent my whole working life there.
Simple design, simple to work on and capable of a days work..
Still got my 1974 Tk tipper, Australian assembled, with 250 ci Mexican Chev 6cyl, this was the motor supplied from the General Motors Holden's factory at Dandenong. Great little truck. Terrific film.
300 cu in
Actually a 292
I wish it was a 292, the smaller models only got the 250 in the early 1970s, as it was an upgrade on the 214 Bedford motor. My family had a bigger later model with a 292 Chev. It was more common to see this size motor.
I learned to drive in J and S types and they were a pleasure to drive.
What a superb truck👍
Excellent 👍🇬🇧
Good video!
loved the beford rls, R I P
What a cool video. And, sadly, what a world we live in now compared to this.
Especially Brexit Britain......Going down the pan.We only have Vauxhall now and its Peugeot owned🙄
Yeah... 40 years of a dictatorial, ruinous, corrupt and costly EU. Now we're out and free to trade on our own terms. Let's look forward and try to reignite design, innovation and fair competition without negative remoaners!
Good job Bedford truck
Sorry but they were the good old days 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Impossible crap to work on , a tilt cab would if been great , but they didn't and that killed them
They had to have something going for them. They were still a common sight on the road well into the 1990s long after other British makes disappeared.
