Bedford Vehicles (oversat fra engelsk; Bedford køretøjer), normalt forkortet til kun Bedford, var et køretøjsmærke fremstillet af Vauxhall Motors,[1] dengang et datterselskab af det multinationale selskab General Motors. Bedford Vehicles blev etableret i april 1931 til at bygge erhvervskøretøjer. Virksomheden var et førende internationalt lastbilmærke med et betydeligt eksportsalg af lette, mellemstore og tunge lastbiler over hele verden.
Bedfords kerneforretning for tunge lastbiler blev frasolgt af General Motors (GM) som AWD Trucks i 1987, mens Bedford-mærket fortsatte med at blive anvendt på lette erhvervskøretøjer og personbiler baseret på Vauxhall/Opel, Isuzu og Suzuki-design. Mærket blev pensioneret i 1991.
Varevognsfabrikken i Bedford, nu kaldet GM Manufacturing Luton, ejes og drives nu af Stellantis.[2]

This beautifully-restored 1961-vintage MacBraynes Bedford C5 coach (with original coachwork by Duple) is owned by a charitable trust. In its previous life it used to transport tourists and locals alike around the West Highlands, its short wheelbase and light structure making it suitable for the many single-track roads with tight bends of the North and West of Highland Scotland in the 1960s and 1970s. 603CYS (Number 179 in the MacBraynes fleet) was bought for preservation by the late Andrew Muckley of Houghton-le-Street, from Co. Durham who was instumental in forming the MacBraynes Circle. It passed to another preservationist in Inverness and was stored at the Highland depot in the town and on the takeover of Highland by Rapsons. They took control of the bus and it is now in the care of the MacBraynes Circle. A photograph of the vehicle in service in 1963 appears at:

A beautifully restored Bedford Lorry at Brede Waterworks. Whilst appreciating the incredible work and craftmanship that goes into transforming an abandoned workhorse like this into its present gleaming showroom condition I cannot help thinking it would be nice to see these vehicles in typical careworn condition. As indeed they spent most of their lives. This lorry is a 1939 Bedford WL Dropsider
