The SB's were quite popular as horse transporters to give them a smooth ride. closest right (1st pic) + I'm guessing this is the same vehicle on the right?

johnfromstaffs ◊ 2020-01-06 15:27	I am sorry to disagree with you, but, according to my much thumbed copy of Mr Newall's book, "A History of Motor Vehicle Registration in the United Kingdom", VAH commenced in July 1956, immediately following the completion of UVF, and completed in August 1956, to be followed by VNG.

Sunbar ◊ 2020-01-08 11:51	1956 is two years too early for a Bedford C4 or C5 chassis so Bedford SB confirmed. Has the look of a Lambourn of Reading horsebox body...
