The Geek-Team Van
"If you thought our fleet of Honda Jazz was hard to miss, wait til you see our iconic 1981 Bedford CF-230.Our A-Team styled van is often seen in different locations around New Zealand. Modified from its original configuration to accommodate a 5.7 litre Small Block Chevrolet V8 350 engine providing 170 horse power, you can hear it coming a mile away.As Geeks on Wheels is a mobile service where driving is a central part of our job, it was only fitting that we should possess a toy, that is fun, and people will enjoy seeing as part of our advertising promotions and at events.Don’t worry – There are no 'crimes that we didn’t commit', and we don’t even have a BA Baracus (Mr. T) – but…If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find us, you can hire... The Geek-Team.A special thanks to Antony Konnerth for the dedicated hard work of not just an ordinary mechanic – but a super hero mechanic who has helped to keep our van in tip-top condition."

Ebay: Bedford V8 Hot Rod Van, again...
"Hi welcome to my auction for Bedford cf2 3.9 injection v8 Hotrod, re-listed due to an ebay time waster who didn't know what he was on about! Wanted something brand new for little money! If this van isn't something different I don't no what is, I have now taxed this van due to the time waster, it has 12 months mot, ready to go for the summer, 8 new plugs new set of leads new rotar arm, 1 ball joint, shock absorber all good tyres, cobra seats. As you can see from pics it has wooden dash which is 3 ply, I was going to put mahogany in for nice effect, back is warm dry and fully boarded out, previous owner had van stood for 4 years, all mechanic work has been sorted for mot but paintwork in some places have gone so will need sorting out or would look nice with a full respray, bearing in mind it was painted 15 years ago. 2 loud side pipes as you can see from pics, swb van. All previous files and mots, starts and drives first time will take you anywhere. Bottom of the window has rotted away. Will need rust cutting out and a piece of plate putting in, also two holes in wheel arch ( passenger ) if you are interested come and view, take for a test drive. I would appreciate it if you would view before bidding. There is nothing more wrong with the van, only what I have described, engine bay is immaculate.
This is a 4 speed auto which means you change it manually threw the gears , no time wasters this time happy bidding !!!!! this is one hell of a van."

"Getting the van out of storage.
She was stored away in the early 1990`s.
I did get her out now and again, but not really for the last ten years.
Amazingly she started up after a battery was connected and the electric fuel pump tapped into working.
Once in the workshop the carburetors were removed and thoroughly cleaned.
Oil and filter changed.
Tank drained and fresh petrol put in.
The wheels were removed and the brakes cleaned and adjusted.
She runs a treat now. Ready for the new show season."
Morris Mike.
