You get the occasional oddball. The last Bedford I drove was ex CAA and had twin wheel rear axle and 4x4
It belonged to a mate, think it had about 30,000 on it and drove very nicely.
One of the most outrageous ones was an ex M6 Atkinson gritter.
Rolls Royce engine, six wheel drive and a genuine 70mph. Lovely old thing and went like something possessed
Apparently they built a batch of them when they put the M6 over Shap and buolt he M62. I'm told that they had a theory that they would need to run the snow ploughs at 70mph to keep pace with traffic.

It had lost the gritter body and plough by the time I had a go in one
