You are bidding on a beautiful classic Bedford TK Diesel Horsebox which stalls 4 two facing forward two facing rear and with seats for 3 people in the cab upfront.   Cab is finished in a lovely cream colour with dark vinyl seats inside cab.  Seats in very good condition with no rips or tears.  There is a useful ledge area behind the driver/passengers for placing bag. hats whips. ROSETTES! :)
Rear jockey door and rear and side ramps which work as they should.
Horse area is lovely and has separate little gates to stall the horses from each other. In the past some of the gates and internal wood has been cribbed on. but these areas are still working and serviceable. Dependent on how many horses you travel there is plenty of space for storing items in unused stalls and there is also space over the cab for a queen. possibly. a double mattress. or an area for storage.  Floor is solid and is covered in rubber matting
External wood is good condition for age. as it has been barn stored. but on the left hand side a few of the wood struts have some splits.  This I have mentioned in interests of accuracy but they do not impact on functionality and are not overly noticeable.
This vehicle is a TK860 - which means that the max weight it can carry is 8. 6 tonnes.  However. it has been what they call 'downplated' to a maximum of 7. 5 tonnes so you do not need a 'HGV' license to drive it.
I have been told by someone more knowledgeable than I. that it has a 6 cylinder 330 engine.
All lights. indicators. hazards work as they should. however. please do bear in mind this is a 1977 vehicle. which has manual windows. basic equipment and no seatbelts.  
No major rusting. just surface rusting in places from age of vehicle.
Total Height = Approx 10ft 2" - Width of Body = Approx 7ft 7" - Total Length of Vehicle Including Cab = Approx 22ft 5" (of which approx 6ft is cab)Internal height of the box (floor to ceiling) = approx 6ft 10".   
 Plating til 10th August 2013 and Tax til end of July 2013.
This was bought for me recently by my husband who knows how much I love my classic vehicles. however it is too big for me really. as I only need to travel one horse and a small companion pony.  This horsebox has had one owner from new and has lots of history.  
This would make not only a super horsebox that is ready to go. but could also be used for anyone who sells antiques/vintage goods and who would like a vehicle to compliment their image when collecting/dropping off/selling their wares at fairs etc.  
It would also make a superb conversion to a camper for those with a love for nostalgia.
I have described this gorgeous vehicle as best as I can but I am not a mechanic or a car buff.  Therefore. I will endeavour to answer any questions I can accurately. but please do not get too technical!
Sorry. but I am not interested in swapping her for another vehicle.  
Cash on collection only.
Vehicle is advertised locally also. so I reserve the right to end the listing at anytime.
Thank you for your interest.
