Offered here is a Bedford J-Type style hub cap, supplied in its unfinished base metal.
These hub caps were manufactured many years ago but were never taken to the final stage of production. As a result, they do not feature the Bedford script, as the original stamping tool was never applied — a tool that is now long lost to time.
Items like this are now becoming increasingly difficult to find, making them of particular interest to restorers and collectors alike.
Supplied in bare metal, allowing the buyer complete freedom to finish to their own specification:
Painted finish to suit original or custom restorations
Chrome plated for a traditional commercial vehicle appearance
Ideal for those who prefer to control the final finish rather than remove or rework an existing surface.

These hub caps do not carry the Bedford script, as they were never stamped
This is due to the original tooling no longer being available
