This Bedford CF350 was spotted at Castle Combe - Rally Day 2019 last saturday. A quick reference to the license plate UAV 199X and it turns out that it's an original rally team van from back in the day. The photo below is from a 1982 magazine article. The livery may be different but as you can see from plate and roofrack, it's the same van.
After a bit of searching online I found that this van was for sale just 6 months ago. It was painted blue somewhere along the line but it still had those huge mirrors. Who ever bought it painted it up in the "DTV" livery but as far as I know, those vans were all CF1's (example: 1978 Rallye de Portugal)
