This Bedford sounds such a treat!
100% sympathies to anyone who ever tries to drive a Crashbox smoothly, it always takes someone switched on to operate one! You know you’re a pro once you’ve mastered the clutchless changes!!
I have a similar recording of my 1968 Austin 2-45F on my channel.
Owning an oldie is certainly a lot easier than any newer bus that’s for sure.
Keep on bussing!

This guy really puts the crash into “crash box” 😂

Could I please use the soundtrack of this video in my own video? I will give you credit and won't be profiting off of it.

Learn to double de clutch mate! It will save the poor old gearbox loads of grief! 😂

It looks and drives a damn sight better than the one east yorkshire used to own. She was a beast with more holes than a brothel. On a left turn, the corner bodywork next to the driver used to lift away. Happy days 😁
