The fabled Bedford JO was the smallest model of the TJ range.
New Zealand almost certainly had the bulk of the limited production run (1961-66), with many government department having considerable fleets of them. A fair number have survived but many have been either customised to varying degrees or exported to the UK, where they are favoured by nostalgic members of the travelling community. These vehicles are subjected to no-expense spared restorations and end up in better than new condition.
This particular example was seen roadside on the outskirts of Thames at the base of the Coromandel Peninsular. In common with just about all of the customised examles to be seen here in NZ, it has been re-powered with a V8 engine mated to an automatic gearbox. The wider pattern wheels and tyres do not look too out of place and no "chop-job" has been done to the cab! The steel-channel bumper, "Roo Bar" and sun visor are normal Antipodean accessories for a JO and make for a not unpleasant blending of originality and tasteful customisation.
My set of four customised Kodak Brownie Hawkeyes by Randy Smith - all done as near as poss to Fender guitar colours in homage to a few fave guitarists
Dinky Toys 206 Customised Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.
I have an earlier version of this (221) in white which has an opening bonnet and pop-up headlamps. The doors also open on that one, but the casting for this later version has been modified to make them less deep to accommodate added side exhausts.
The box for this one is incorrect, it is for the earlier version.
A 1930 Ford Model A Coupe Customised Hot Rod, powered by a 1950s De Soto (Chrysler) ‘Firedome’ V8. Registration: “BF 6917”, imported to the UK in 2014. I decided to include both photos of the front and rear of this car, as this Ford was one of my most favourite cars of the event. This is a superb Hot Rod which is representative of a true “of-the-period” custom and reflects what these cars would’ve typically looked like in the 1950s through early ‘60s. This example is not ‘Billet’, nor is it a trailer queen, not overly polished, no blindingly bright paintwork, no cliché flame graphics, no crazy expensive gizmos, no too-fancy wheels, and on the other hand - not a slammed, fake patina’d, cobbled-together Rat Rod, either. A few of the guys at the show agreed on the exact same thing - “not too flash, not so rat”. This ‘rod is just about perfect!”. Seen at the annual ‘Race The Waves’ hot rod racing event opening/registration/scrutineering pre-race gathering on Church Green, Old Town, Bridlington, Yorkshire, UK, 13/06/25.
Customised pump detail, a Zéfal HPX that used to be black.
All the black coating and plastic can be removed as long as you leave a little bit of the end cap, that silly "lock switch" I never use. Hope this answers your questions Gerhard.
Customised with lowered suspension and new alloys.
Other modifications and detailing done.

CUSTOMISED INSTRUCTIONS PENDING
Please DM if interested in a customised set of instructions in 1:15 (Creator Expert / Icons) scale.
No doubt those in Lego and Ford Bronco circles would have seen the AI-generated model posted as a reel on instagram by @blueridgeaccessories. A great looking model for sure, among a bunch of other AI-generated models.
As a designer of Lego Broncos myself, I took a long, hard look at what the computer created, and wondered if it could indeed be translated into a real build.
Took some doing, but I present here the Gen ! in 1:15 scale. I plan to create instructions - customisable, as with my other Bronco projects, in the near future. Please DM if interested. Or contact me on Instagram @buildmybrickbronco
At this point I would also like to recognise the Lego model builders whose work was likely used to train the AI:

Nice colour, though
