c.1950's Bedford RL ex MOD, petrol. Registration number not registered. Chassis number RFM3B7T454875. Engine number unknown.
There is no paperwork with this truck, sold with keys, not in running order as it has been barn stored for several years.
The Bedford RL was based on the Bedford SCL, a civilian 7-ton truck. The military version had all wheel drive and bigger wheels to increase ground clearance. Originally conservatively rated at 3 tons, all RL GS (general service) trucks in British Military service were, at a late stage in their service lives, re-rated at 4 tons without any mechanical modifications; the weight referring to its rated cross country payload weight. The last RL rolled off the production line in the early 1970s, a total of 74,000 being produced.
The RL was powered by a 4.9 litres petrol engine producing 110 brake horsepower.
This RL has been in our vendors collection for many years and is in running order.
