History
The Bedford TJ was first manufactured in 1958 and was an updated version of the TD range. The TJ was available in the United Kingdom up until 1975, after 1975 it was manufactured only for export. Production continued until 1986, after that it was manufactured by AWD into the early 1990s. Gasoline and diesel engines were available, the lightest (J0 designation) could be specified with the 2.6 liter (later 3.3) straight six gasoline from the Vauxhall cresta and offered saloon car levels of performance. TJs were not large sellers within the UK, however some high profile fleets did utilise them - notably the AA and British Telecom.
