Bedford produced millions of vehicles at their Dunstable and Luton production plant's.
Which means whenever they get together there is going to be a rich cocktail of models on view and the 2002 gathering was no exception.
On the goods side there was everything from a 1936 BYC Bakers van to a 44ton intercontinental TM Muscle truck.
On the passenger side the show was celebrating 40 years of the unique Bedford VAL twin steer coach chassis. It was the biggest collection of them in one place for many years and we managed to get most of them on film.
There was also a good selection of Foden's, ERF's, Volvo's and other British trucks to see and hear on our ninety minute video.

In our fourth Working Classic video we think we have found Britains oldest fully working truck.
Back in 1963 "Mac "Arrowsmith received a brand new Dodge four wheeler for his twenty first Birthday, and in the forty years since they have never been apart. Our video shows the Dodge having a respray and being sign written in readiness for Mac's entry into the Oldest Working Truck category at the 2003 Peterborough Truckfest. It was an interesting day and they collected some silverware, join in the fun with us there! Then its up to the axles in cow pats down on the Shropshire farms as the Dodge collects for the Market Drayton Cattle Market.
As ever with a Tailgate Production there's more on the video than it say's on the cover and Mac's Dodge video diary proves the point.
