I share her appreciation of this very attractive vehicle. I have a long repressed hankering to convert a Bedford RL to a motor home with an indestructible off road ability. Like the RL ex army vehicles, these Austins are also becoming hard to find.
She really ought to get some practical help. I am sure OCC would be a good start. Perhaps she could benefit from getting onto one of those courses which teach how to restore vehicles? |

Sounds like a great project Ray, hopefully you're not thinking of high mileages on your holidays. I towed a 25pdr. field gun (not that heavy, about 25cwt) from Essex to Portsmouth & back with a RL & got 7mpg.

A great many models have served me well since the 'sixties, all of them old & some even older than me. |
