heggie's transport

That photo of the S model Bedstead, does it have extended skirts at the front, or has the cabin been jacked up?? Seems to me that the whole cab seems to have a lot more aggressive stance than standard?? Dave

Stock standard, if my memory serves correct. The 4WD bushfire trucks were even higher

Stock standard S model Bedford... The 4x4s were the R model... Exactly the same but with all the good gear for bush bashing

Does anyone have any info of when Heggie's first started business? By the look of the old Leyland seems it was at least the 1920's. I also remember Heggie's having a yard over in Whyalla too, don't ever recall seeing a yard in Newcastle though.

Thank's for that. I try google for info on the old transport companies but never find too much.
