KEEPING pace with the 1980s was a mean task, especially for a firm in the motor trade - but that is what Pacetrucks set out to do.

TV star was on hand to open truck firm's depot

By 1982 the firm was gearing itself up to meet the challenge of the 80s head-on.

The Pacetrucks centre in Stanton Road was setup in 1981 and by September 1982 the business launched itself as a new Bedford dealership.

The Bedford name returning to Stanton was a welcome move as the dealership had previously operated from a 3.5-acre site until the late 1970s.
