She was parked up outside for 10 years then brought inside in 1989. Some work was done including replacement of the ash wood frame under the panels and painting back to near original colours. The flooring was also redone inside. The rest of the interior remains original.

The Bedford SB
The Bedford SB Series was the replacement of the OB Series and were built from 1950 until 1986 in Luton. These were the first Bedfords to have forward control with the driver next to the engine and the axle underneath. The Duple Vega bodywork was intended for the new production model of the Bedford SB and the bodywork featured a gently curving waistline, typical of Duple.
