XXII Automobilia Aveiro 2014

Todos os anos costuma estar estacionado uma Bedford CF na Automobilia de Aveiro, mas como este ano não fui decidi ir a página de facebook dos Doidos Por Chaços para ver se andaram por lá outra vez. Este ano a CF aparece pintado de preto e com algumas alterações, mas como se vê nestas fotos parece que tiveram uma pequena avaria...

ebay: 1983 Bedford CF Poptop Camper

Here's the latest CF that caught my eye on ebay UK, a nice CF2 poptop camper. This is a nice one that was painted black and is cool enough to be used a daily driver. The alloy wheels are bolted up with PCD adapters, which is a nice bonus that gives you lots of wheel options. It has some tubular side steps that are completely useless as this camper has no side doors... but they do look good. Other than a towbar it's stock. I would tint those windows black to get that VIP look. 

Starting bid: £1,500.00
Item location: Rotherham, South Yorkshire, United Kingdom
Ebay  item number: 271506776108

Mais uma CF que chegou ao fim...

Mais uma Bedford CF que chegou ao fim da linha... Esta apareceu numa sucata no minho e pareceu-me um pouco familiar. Depois de confirmar nos arquivos, confirma-se que esteve a venda no Porto em 2010. É a mesma Bedford, as mesmas cortinas, o interior está igual. Estava muito abandalhado, mas tirando o mau aspecto do graffiti e alguns pontos de ferrugem e podres, ainda estava completa e minimamente razoável para um possível restauro. Infelizmente já foi abatido os documentos... o que é uma pena tendo em conta que estaria registada como uma autocaravana. Pelo menos, por enquanto, não foi derritido e ainda pode aproveitar-se algumas peças.
