This 1946 Bedford KU was first registered in Midlothian, Scotland working from a woodyard. It broke down in Manchester in 1972 and sat in Walkers breakers yard in Droylsden until 1986. It was in pieces when bought in the late 90s by A. Houghton and wasn't finally restored until 2010.
It was one of the vehicles on show at the classic car rally held recently at Ewen Fields in aid of SSAFA, a charity that provides practical support and assistance to servicemen and women, veterans and their families.
