@darrowby1972 He sure is. I've often wondered where he went to.

@pump35 Ha dont think you have ever drivein one in your life ! i own and run a Vintage coach company and let me tell you a BedFord nor a Ford change gear's like a wooden spoon in a bucket of Bolts ! ok ford's ant the most Power-Full but they get up hill's the same as any of my LeyLand's and ALL start on the first turn

Ford Coaches were not much cop. Underpowered, noisy and a gearchange like a wooden spoon in a bucket of Bolts. There again, Bedfords were not that much better.

Cant believe that the engine is only a 6L.

Nice clattery old 360 turbo. Love the sound. I drove a Ford 1014 ( 45 seater, ex Globe of Barnsley, Duple Dominant 2. XHE755T ) for about 3 years, and found it a lovely motor. With the 6 speed box, it had all the right ratio`s, and the only thing I could fault it on, was the cab heater, which was crap, but it had the electrically heated screens, so wasn`t too bad.
