These Bedford J Type buses were vey popular in Cyprus during the 1950's and 1960's. Most were locally bodied. The long bonnet was an advantage as it kept the hot engine away from the driver. It gets very hot in Cyprus in the summer. Amazingly there is a business in Cyprus that still has new Bedford parts in stock and can supply, the now limited, demand. Any of our readers looking for spare parts can be put in touch with the Cyprus company. Just send us an email with details of what Bedford parts you need.
