Hi Ian, the Bedford was a 'Civi' model, and was restored carrying the bottle as seen. It was owned by the Middlesbrough firm 'Lowcocks Lemonade' and if my memory is correct was unfortunately destroyed in a fire some years ago now. Will see you at Stockton's open day, as I have been invited to put on a presentation!
