Do you have a penchant for all things Military? Fancy yourself as Steve McQueen driving a BIG Bedford MJ? (Or was that a motorbike??) Now's your chance.......our Bedford MJs are real monsters to drive!!
Without ABS or traction control there's nothing about driving one of these that would make the hairs on Jeremy Clarkson's neck stand up!!
Without power steering you really have to drive this vehicle, either by brute force or by using your head and choosing a route carefully - fantastic 4 wheel drive fun! A very rewarding drive so get your fatigues on and quick march!
