For Sale: 1970 Custom Bedford CF DE LUXE Camper

This is the first CF I spot from Switzerland and it's an interesting one indeed. It has some very nice custom work done like the paint color scheme and graphics and a comfortable velvet interior but it has some other questionable details like the gigantic wing and a ladder hanging on the roof. The front bumper/spoiler is a custom piece that looks like its from an old Renault 5 and it really doesn't match. The holes from the bumpers and license plate were left open. This van also deserves some mags but the best the owner could do was some ugly wire wheel imitation hub caps..
The seller refers to it as a camper, so it seems to have a toilet, sink and water tank also.
Buy it now for CHF 3'500.00

A-Team CF em Ermesinde

Estava a navegar no facebook e encontrei esta CF estilo "soldados da fortuna" que apareceu num encontro de classicos em Ermesinde! Uma agradável surpresa, não estava a espera de ver isto por cá! Os autocolantes com um site evidência que isto é mais para fazer publicidade a um stand de automóveis de Ermesinde.
Já referi aqui no blog que o CF era o preferído para replicas A-Team cá na Europa devido as suas semelhanças ao van GMC americano. No entanto esta "replica" (se podemos chamar assim) não está muito bem conseguído, a faixa vermelha e a pintura não estão correctas e o aleron é exageradamente grande. Falta também o mata-vacas e farois de nevoeiro, peças fundamentais numa replica. As jantes são quase impossíveis de arranjar, por isso está perdoado.
É curioso que o emblema GMC nunca falha nas replicas mas a verdade é que na maioria dos episódios da serie os emblemas eram removidos ou pintados de preto porque não tinham patrocinio da GMC...
De qualquer forma, é interessante e vou ver se consigo ver isto ao vivo em Ermesinde.

For Sale: Rusty's CF Bedford (NZ)

I found this post on The Flying Tortoise blog - Rusty's CF Bedford Is For Sale...
Let me say, from what I can see, Rusty has done an awesome job on his custom/camper CF.
If your in New Zealand and looking for a CF, check this one out.

"Rusty's been busily restoring his 1979 CF Bedford for the last couple of years.
He came to see me and show off his pride and joy yesterday while I'm on the Karikari Peninsular in New Zealand's Far North. His efforts haven't been in vain.
The old girl has a 186 Holden engine, Trimatic transmission, a completely refurbished interior, tinted windows, Trident Mags, a completely upgraded electrical system, new brakes, essentials like a bed, a two burner cooker, a little refrigerator, and a toilet.
What more could you want. Let me know if you're interested and I'll give you his contact details..."

Vende-se: Bedford CF250 de 1980

Este CF250 está à venda em Cascais por €1.000. O vendedor não deixa grandes detalhes no anúncio a não ser que está "muito boa de chapa" e "necessita de substituição da junta da cabeça".
Pelas fotos dá para observar que tem os vidros laterais, dai pode ser de 7 lugares. Falando de bancos, os da frente foram trocados. A cor verde mate não é original, pode ter levado alguma restauro no passado recente. Falta-lhe o espelho do lado esquerdo e os parachoques trazeiros. 
Parece um projecto interessante mas será aconselhavel ir ver ao vivo o real estado do van.
