Morse and his Jaguar, The Hawk and his Reliant Robin— some partnerships were just meant to be. Take Ken Lewis and his Bedford. Ken first encountered this 1969 Bedford J Type four-ton truck when he was working as a maintenance manager for haulage company Frank Avann, based in Eastbourne.
Ken was with the firm for 32 years and was one in the team which first restored the vehicle. Imagine his dismay, then, when the com pany's new owners repainted the truck and sold it off in 1993.
