The vehicles on display ranged from a 1935 "W" model right through to one of the last "TL" models made in 1989.
Carl Lemon, Bedford Enthusiasts Club event organiser, said: “I came up with the idea of the Bedford birthday convoy in celebration of the 90th anniversary.
"Millbrook played a major role in the development of Bedford Trucks after its opening in 1970, so it was the perfect location for the conclusion of our event."
