V is for Van

"In the 1970's and 1980's having a cool van with shag carpeting
was all the rage. Bonus points for having a viking on the side."

For sale: 1973 Bedford CF - South Africa


Here is a very cool customized Bedford CF for sale in South Africa. It's got all the goodies like fender flares, quad headlights, hood scoop, chrome mirrors, port hole windows, mag wheels and A-Team inspired red stripe. It's too bad they posted very little info and only one photo in the ad.

For sale: Bedford CF - Finland


This Bedford almost made it as a "Junkyard Sunday's" post but despite looking abandoned in a field, it's actually for sale. These vans seem to be quite rare up in Finland so I hope someone picks it up and gets it running again. At first glimpse it looks stock but if you look closer you start to see many modifications. The rear doors have been removed and sealed up, and a fuel tank door has been moved to the rear quarter. The side windows are for the rear seats - this is 9 seater van and the engine has been swapped out for a 2.5L Opel inline six unit.

The Country House Mouse


This 1972 Bedford CF is being used to haul around vintage items to markets. Yes it's a CF1 with a CF2 front end and custom chrome front and rear bumpers. Also notice the giant chrome rat on the grille. You would probably find that on a ratrod but this CF has been nicely restored and I guess it's supposed to represent a mouse... since the company is called "The Country House Mouse".

For sale: 1973 Custom Bedford CF1 - Germany


Here we have a customized 1973 Bedford CF1 for sale in Germany. Notice it has the Bedford badges instead of the Opel Blitz ones, so it was imported probably from France since it has the typical french fiberglass fender flares. Speaking of the exterior, it got a few custom goodies, like rims and port window and the mate green paint looks very military with the painted bumpers and rims. It's powered by the early version 1.8L diesel engine.
The inside is empty but the walls and roof are all lined up with wood or some type of plywood. Overall it looks to be in good shape and the seller is asking 3 900 €.






"Oldtimer Bedford Blitz (Vauxhall) Dieser in Deutschland seltener Schatz (alle Angaben vom Vorbesitzer)stand 10Jahre in einer Garage. Die 34000Kilometer sind so abgelesen,allerdings eht das Zählwerk auch nur bis 99tsd.? Im März 2015 wurden folgende arbeiten durchgeführt: diverse Schweißarbeiten,defekter Anlasser,Lichtmaschine und Haupbremszylinder getauscht,alle Radbremszylinder gegen neue getauscht. Diesel und Ölfilter sowie alle Flüssigkeiten getauscht, zuletzt der Anzugsmagnet für die Vorglüheinrichtung. Er ist in einem top Zustand und startet hervorragend und voll fahrtauglich. Er ist neu für 960 Euro mit 245/60 R14 Allwetter auf Chromfelge 4fach bereift Juli 2015 und Achsvermessen. Er sollte als Werbeträger und für Baustellenlieferungen eingesetzt werden nur als Oldtimer ist das nicht möglich und zum verheizen ist er zu schade. Somit suche ich einen Liebhaber der diesen absoluten Blickfang und Animateur für schmunzelnd winkende Passanten noch viele Jahre begleiten möchte. Teile sind noch ausreichend zu bekommen und ein Frontblech sowie Ersatzscheiben für das Glasdach und ein Lenkrad ist dabei"
