Bedford OB Coach 1949MN Tours (Isle of Man) Douglas

Bedford introduced the OB in 1939 as a replacement for its earlier WLB type and featured a 28hp engine with a four-speed manual gearbox, a fully floating rear axle, and vacuum servo-assisted hydraulic brakes. The top speed was in the region of 40mph. Seventy-three OBs, most of which have the classic Duple ‘Vista’ bodywork, were completed by the time the Second World War broke out in September of that year. A wartime version, the OWB, was built during the war years, but the OB returned after the conflict, with construction continuing until 1951. Altogether, some 12,693 (some sources say 12,766) were completed; 5,493 were exported.

Thankfully, around 180 Bedford OBs are known to survive, many of which are in operable condition, so the distinctive gearbox whine that so characterised the OB, can still be heard on Britain’s roads today.
