Espelhos novos...

Os espelhos originais da CF parecem saídos de um camião dos anos 40... Era preciso uma actualização e hoje finalmente montei uns espelhos cromados novos do tipo GMC. Ficam bem?

For Sale: 1974 custom Bedford CF - Australia


This is another custom CF for sale from the same seller of the Innocents van. It looks like the owner is leaving the country and is getting rid of his vans. This one is as good as the other one at the starting bid is AU $10,000.00. Lots of shinny chrome and the red paint matches the padded red interior. The interior is really oldschool, a large bed in the rear with mirror ceiling and of course you have to have a bar in there as well...
So much custom work was done its too much to list, check out the photos.

CUSTOM STAINLESS SIDE STEPS, CUSTOM INTERIOR, FEATURES A HOLDEN 202 WITH A TRIMATIC GEARBOX, HIGH SPEED DIFF, VR COMMODORE DISC BRAKES ON REAR, HQ DISC BRAKES ON THE FRONT.

For Sale: 1974 "INNOCENTS" Bedford CF


This custom show CF called "Innocents" is known to all the Australian vanners and now it's for sale. I'm not 100% sure but looking at the painted mural I think the name comes from the 1961 black & white thriller movie "The Innocents".
This van is a real beauty, it's not going to be cheap. Initial bid is at AU $10,000.00 but you know you would spend a fortune to build up a CF like this one.


"GRAB YOURSELF A SLICE OF VANNING HISTORY, THE ONE AND ONLY "INNOCENTS". HIGHLY CUSTOMISED BEDFORD CF, RUNNING GEAR 5.7LITRE 350 CHEV, 2 SPEED POWERGLIDE, CHROMED JAGUAR DIFF, HQ STUD PATTERN WITH HQ DISC BRAKES, CUSTOM PAINT JOB WITH MURALS PAINTED ON EITHER SIDE, HAS THE ORIGINAL INTERIOR FROM WHEN IT WAS FIRST BUILT EXCEPT FOR THE CARPET. ANYBODY WHO KNOWS ABOUT THE AUSTRALIAN VANNING SCENE WILL KNOW THIS INSANE VAN WILL BE A AWESOME ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION."

Bedford CF em Aveiro

No fim de semana 3-4 de Dezembro 2011 decorreu o 6 Salão Automóvel e Motociclo Antigo-Clássico-Sport de Aveiro no Parque de Feiras e Exposições.
Ao dar uma vista de olhos nas fotos no Portal dos Classicos encontrei estas fotos de um Beford CF. Estratégicamente estacionado com as rodas em cima do passeio, parece que estava a ser utilizado como montra de publicidade dado a quantidade de anúncios colados...
Não deixa de ser interessante, as jantes, estribos e luzes suplementares dão um aspecto de todo terreno. Só falta mesmo um mata-vacas...

For Sale: 1976 custom Bedford CF De Luxe Van - Germany



The same seller of the custom CF pickup I just posted is also selling this 1976 custom CF van on ebay.
It needs a little bit of restoration but it looks to be in great shape, full of custom mods: fender flares, running boards, front spoiler, custom grille, sun visor, 1-piece rear door, roof vent, chevy chrome mirrors, large side and rear windows, spare tire carrier, mags wheels, towing hitch, side pipe, custom side markers, 2 frenched antennas in the rear and a gold paint job with a cool mural. Wow, that's a lot of mods!
No photos of the inside but it seems to also be well equipped with camper equipment. Also no indication on what engine it has... just that it has an automatic gearbox.
Note the CH sticker on the rear, means that it's originally from Switzerland.
