Instead of two separate videos for these extremely similar diecasts, I've opted to combine the two into one to avoid a sense of déjà vu. The smaller 13A model is identified by it's curved rear section, while the 13B has a longer, flatter top. That and the fact its been repainted green and black and is missing its hook. The 13A isn't without fault either though, missing its entire jib/towing arm while sporting a crushed rear axle. The 13B is short a hook as well. There's a lot of history to Bedford, and I delve into their interesting in this video, particularly during the war years.
