OH and me are looking at a 32 year old 3.5 ton Bedford horse box tomorrow and people at my yard think I'm bonkers. Has no power steering and a heavy rear ramp but has done hardly any miless (<50k), has had numerous new mechanical parts including timing belt and exhaust system and is very reasonably priced. Are we mad? Does anyone have a box of this age/know anyone with a box of this age? My Dad has been a mechanic for about 35 years and reckons that aside from them being prone to oil leaks and rust around the front bumpers, they are generally pretty good. The bodywork looks in good condition from the photos and it passed it's MOT with only 3, relatively minor advisories. Thoughts? It will be our first box (Horse is a 14.3hh coloured cob weighing in at about 440kg so don't need a huge payload).
