The Bedford SETA and WFR trucks, produced between 1980 and 1995, represented a significant collaboration between Bedford and Isuzu, marking a period of transition for the British commercial vehicle manufacturer. Bedford, a subsidiary of General Motors, had traditionally focused on producing trucks with British-designed engines and components. However, in the late 1970s, facing increasing competition from international manufacturers, Bedford sought a partnership with Isuzu, the Japanese automotive giant, to gain access to their modern and fuel-efficient diesel technology. This partnership resulted in the SETA, a light-duty truck aimed at the delivery and distribution sector, and the WFR, a heavier-duty model intended for construction and other demanding applications. Both models featured Isuzu 4LE1 diesel engines, known for their durability and economy, and shared a common cab design with other Bedford trucks of the era. The SETA and WFR were offered in a range of configurations including flatbed, tipper, and van body options, catering to a wide spectrum of commercial needs.

The Bedford SETA and WFR were widely popular during their production run, offering a blend of robust construction, reliable performance, and competitive pricing. The Isuzu diesel engines proved to be particularly successful, offering lower fuel consumption and reduced maintenance costs compared to earlier Bedford models. While these trucks were initially popular in the United Kingdom, they were also exported to various markets around the world. The partnership between Bedford and Isuzu continued until the early 1990s when General Motors decided to withdraw from the commercial vehicle market in the UK, leading to the closure of Bedford's truck manufacturing operations. Despite this, the SETA and WFR continued to be sold and used for many years after, earning a reputation for longevity and reliability. The service repair manual for these trucks, covering the period from 1980 to 1995, provides a comprehensive guide for mechanics and owners, offering detailed information on the vehicle's systems, components, and maintenance procedures. It remains a valuable resource for those seeking to keep these iconic trucks in working order.
