CARRY ON CAMPING!
There’s no doubt the Bedford MJ makes an excellent show wagon, especially when fitted
with the coms box on the back. Despite the fact that lots have gone to Ghana and Guiana,
you should still be able to find a cheap one here. In fact, when we looked, one with a box was
selling for just £4,225 on the nation’s favourite internet auction site. Another option is to pick
up a Cargo truck for between £3,000-£4,000 then spend another £1,500 on a box to put on the
back. When looking at examples for sale, always check the cab because the floors can rot out,
as can the metal around the rear window. The 5.4-litre six-cylinder turbodiesel engine is as
tough as nails, but tricky to work due to poor access. The spares situation is pretty good,
so maintenance shouldn’t be too difficult. The key is to ignore the ones that have
been got at and buy the most complete example you see, preferably with a
good set of tyres fitted. Bear in mind, there’s no power steering – so if
you’re tempted to buy one for the 2016 show season, renew your
gym membership and build up your biceps first!
