Bedford K, M & O Overview

Bedfords were derived from Chev in 1931 with the W model that had a Bedford engine not a Chev engine.
The K,M & O engines where classed as the 27 horse power and the O model engine 28 horse power; only because of the bigger carburetor fitted later on.

Even though the K, M & O Models started in 1939 when the W models finished, Australia saw most of their K, M & O models from 1947 on-wards due to the War.

 

 The Difference between

The English Cabin & The Australian Cabin:

 

                   The English Cabin

 The English Cabin is flat under the doors on the outside. They have no inside “door handles”, they use the lever towards the back near the side window glass, that points upwards and moves side to side.They do not have window winder handles, they  use a holder “Grab Handle” at the top of the glass to push it up and down. They have fixed Vent Windows, and the push out Driver’s side windscreen.

               The Australian Cabin

The Australian Cabin is curved under the doors on the outside and has Door Trims.

They have proper door handles, also proper window winder handles and have push out “swivel” Quarter vent windows. The windscreen of the Australian cabin is fixed and is more tilted for a more streamlined & faster appearance.
