G'day

Mate I wish!
I am old, grey, and wrinkly. A Bedford tat on me would look like it had been in an accident.

    I tried googling but couldnt find any answers.

   In the tattoo the Beddy Griffen is holding a flag with the letter B, on my van the flag has the letter V.

   My guess is the V is for Vans and the B for bus, What about trucks?

   If you have the answer could you please share this Bedford mystery to me.

                  Cheers Frank

V would be for Vauxhall
B probably for Bedford

Quoted from Wikipedia...
this got Ray interested in when the first bedford truck was made....

Bedford used the Griffin logo of Vauxhall Motors, derived from the heraldic crest of Fulk le Breante, who was granted the Manor of Luton by King John. By marriage, he acquired property in London, known as Fulk's Hall, which over time, came to be the locality of Vauxhall, the original home of Vauxhall Motors. The griffin returned to Luton in 1903 when Vauxhall Motors moved there.

so im guessing the V is for vauxhall......
