New Zealand Bedford - DK7621

With relatively unusual Wormald bodywork & a Climax pump, this 1966 TK model served a number of South Island brigades. It has unfortunately been subsequently converted into a house bus.

David, I recall the Glen Eden VFB in the Waitakere (Auckland) had one of these for many years.

Theirs was slightly different & a bit larger. EW 3686 is the machine & I don't have a pic I have rights to to post.

Grew up in Glen Eden & very familiar with that TK (EW3686). Saw it a number if years later at a Glen Eden community gala restored in G.E.V.F.B. markings but haven't seen or heard of it since.

Would love to know where it ended up - know anybody that might know? Any ideas where one could get a photo? Contacts...?
